| Nelson Touch Team Bolts In for Win March 2012 It's been a very successful season for the Blacks Fasteners sponsored Touch Team "Blacks Bolters" in Nelson, who won the Division 2 Mens grade.
The team was a mixture of young and old with 3 sets of Father & Son pairings. They only had 1 loss and a draw all season.
Craig Stove (Nelson Branch Sales Professional) made a comeback for the semi-final and final after being injured for six weeks. The team called in "super-sub" Martin Neethling (Brightwater Engineers) for cover for the "oldies" in case another injury occured!
Jordan Murphy (Nelson Branch Storeman) was outstanding in both games making vital try-saving touches.
Josh Stove (Craig's son) scored 1 try in the semi-final and 2 in the final. | | Click images to enlarge |
