Poverty Bay fullback Ricardo Patricio finishes off an early contender for the individual try of the season in the Bay's Heartland Championship clash with Mid Canterbury at the Oval on Saturday. With around 20 minutes of the match remaining, Patricio fielded a clearing kick a couple of metres inside the Bay 10-metre line. He proceeded to chip kick the ball over incoming Mid Canterburyplayers, got the bounce, stepped inside one defender and left another two smelling his fumes as he put on the afterburners and sprinted to the try line for a five-pointer he will never forget.
