The Upper Hutt Rams Premiers beat Northern United 36-19 in their Premier Swindale Shield fixture at Porirua Park on Saturday, for the Terry Farrow Memorial Cup.

The match was played in bright sunshine at Jerry Collins Stadium, with the Rams having advantage of the little wind on offer in the first half and racing to an early 10-0 lead. They missed out on further opportunities before scoring their third try just before the break to lead 17-0 at the turnaround. It was lights out for Norths when the Rams scored their fourth try soon after the break. Norths came back to score a couple of tries and then struck with a long-range counter-attacking try with the final play of the match.
