Experience counted for plenty during the clash between stablemates Kaierau and Collegiate in the Wanganui Premier netball competition on Monday night.
Both teams are coached by Marama Cameron and Wanganui Car Centre Kaierau proved far too strong for the younger and less experienced Collegiate side who succumbed 54-25.
Collegiate is a youthful side with many of the team still in Year 11 in secondary school, but must have been buoyed by their first win in the competition with a 35-29 victory over Mint Cafe Marist just last week.
Cameron elected to sit on the Collegiate bench for Monday's clash of the stablemates, content in the knowledge that experience and a more than capable management crew would keep Kaierau in good spirits.
Kaierau remain unbeaten along with East Club Sportsedge and Phillips Electrical Wanganui High School. All three are on the same points, although Sportsedge technically leads on goal average followed by Kaierau and WHS.
