Rugby: Taieri beats Zingari-Richmond 66-0

A masterful display at first five-eighth from Andrew Reid inspired Taieri to a drubbing of Zingari-Richmond at Montecillo.

In a match that Taieri dominated with its open and, at times, high-risk approach, Reid's presence and option-taking was a steadying influence.

His two tries were textbook examples of an inside back's eye for the gap and exploiting opposition weaknesses.

Reid's confidence in directing play enabled outside backs Blake Korteweg, Jared Campbell, Tom Davie and Mike Kerr to flourish.

Kurt Webster relished the switch from lock to blindside flank with another top performance and was on hand to score a superb second-half try.

Another forward to stand out was hooker Henry Parker.

His try on the stroke of fulltime was a front-rower's classic from a maul close to the line.

Zingari-Richmond was competitive in the set pieces and had some scoring opportunities, but option-taking and handling errors turned the ball back to Taieri.

Taieri 66 (Andrew Reid 2, Blake Korteweg 2, Tom Davie, Jared Campbell, Kurt Webster, Mike Kerr, Rowan Beadle, Henry Parker tries; Reid 8 con), Zingari-Richmond 0.

Halftime: Taieri 24-0.

Referee: Dave Kennedy.
