was a really good night out and ionians is perfectly suited to a night like this with lots of room to set other stuff up like the kicking comp and of course the pie queue! games were enjoyable and what you are going to see is sides adopting special plays to make the most of the space - short kick offs and chips over the defence as well as use of the powerplay which is a great concept. even though its not really first teamers involved i can see it really catching on as tonights attendance shows - it certainly had a bit of the cricket t20 atmosphere about it. the other thing its going to do is make the younger players a lot more well known and give them a lot of experience of bigger crowds and match days.
was a good sprinkling of first teamers mingling with the crowd - yeamo, moa, omeley, ticks, phelps to name just a few. other notable 'celebs' were motu tony, john kear who got a really good reception and tommy lee'"
Not forgetting Michael Dobson, Blake Green, Craig Hall and James Elston!!
Cars also filled the side pitch aswell.
Great night all round!!
