Marist Ashgrove bounced back from a disappointing round one loss to Lauries to get their AIC campaign back on track with a 34-5 victory over Eddies.

Despite the fairly comfortable victory, Marist coach Brendan Kiernan still thinks his team needs to improve to be a force this year in a tightening AIC competition.

“It was a challenge to regroup after a tough round one loss, that’s always a difficult thing to do but fortunately the boys did what they needed to do on the weekend,” Kiernan told Rugby News.
