But they have come up with an amazing win 27- 25. The Kookas promised to field a strong side after going down to Geurie but were caught out by strong defence from the Redbacks.

Coach Dave Sturmann praised his side . '' Some very good team tries and really good defence laid the platform for our win.''

''We travelled with up to 12 players out so it was a big effort.'' 

Wellington face up to Trangie who have led the season for most of the year. Trangie downed Geurie 43-0.
