Little mistakes cost Country under-18s<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
THE DEFENSIVE handbook<br />
was thrown out the window as<br />
Canterbury Country under-18<br />
lost 46-31 to Tasman under-18 in<br />
West Melton on Saturday.<br />
Country coach Glen Dunseath<br />
said little mistakes crept into<br />
their game, which let them down.<br />
“The simple fact was that both<br />
sides didn’t deal with the restart<br />
well in the first half. We would<br />
knock on, then they would score,<br />
then they would knock on and<br />
we would score,” he said.<br />
With 15min to go in the match,<br />
Country were well in the game,<br />
but a couple of tries at the end<br />
blew the score out, Dunseath<br />
said.<br />
“Look, Tasman are a quality<br />
side. They have three really high<br />
performing teams in the UC<br />
Championship and it shows, “<br />
Dunseath said.<br />
Country have a bye in<br />
the South Island under-18<br />
competition this weekend, but<br />
will play the New Zealand Area<br />
Schools team on Saturday.<br />
“(New Zealand Area Schools)<br />
are not to the same level of<br />
competition we have faced in the<br />
past two weeks, but they will be<br />
tough,” Dunseath said.<br />
He said everyone in the<br />
Country team were sore but<br />
came through the weekend free<br />
from major injuries.<br />
