Defence key in narrow win

Dedicated defence, especially in the final quarter, enabled North Otago to end Mid Canterbury's unbeaten run with a 19-18 win at Whitestone Contracting Stadium on Saturday.

North Otago snatched a one-point buffer with 12 minutes remaining, when Ed Keohane kicked his fourth penalty.
