St Johns Club Whanganui Metro has slipped out of the top four of the Manawatu Colts division rugby competition with a 21-5 loss to Old Boys Marist at Spriggens Park on Saturday.
The blue and whites simply didn't foot it with the visitors scoring just one try.
Mark Cosford, who
co-coaches alongside Russell Gedye, said one saving grace was that his team held Old Boys Marist scoreless in the second half.
"It was 21-5 at halftime and 21-5 at the final whistle," Cosford said.
"They were so disappointed with themselves coming off the field and that's a good thing, at least they knew and accepted they hadn't played well. After a very promising training session on the Thursday they simply failed to bring it to game day, making wrong decisions at the most critical times."
