@african-monkey thanks AM.
So Roskill just disappeared after that? Shame if so. Although I never had a great deal of love for them after they bought and paid for half the Counties team to play for them in 1990 it's never a good thing for clubs to disappear.
Also Suburbs have always been Suburbs (Craig Dowd played for them). They were based at Avondale Racecourse in those days. Did Bay-Lynn merge with them?

Programme for tomorrow's North Harbour club finals:
Be interested to see how Jack Heighton (Blues U20, usually plays halfback) goes at 10. Harrison Levien (ex-Waikato) is at 9 for Northcote, who have Ben Nee-Nee (ex-Auckland) at lock too.
Harrison Groundwater is at 15 for ECB, so their midfielders must be decent.
Anyone know much about the Moala-Liava’a brothers (?) lining up for East Coast Bays?

@tim said in CLUB RUGBY 2018:
Northcote won 25 - 20. Were behind until about the 70th minute.
Went to this game and was a very good game of rugby. Was well set up too with perfect conditions (see vid) and two clubs boyant from wins in the prelim games with Northcote winning the Reserves Final and Bays winning the under 21s.
Bays were very solid. Great structure but a piss poor scrum which didnt actually cost them too much. Northcote looked dangerous whenever they got the ball in to the backs but squandered 2 or 3 opportunities to score with piss poor handling.
Turned the half at 17-6 down and came home strong to take it out. Was great in that there didnt appear to be any poor ref calls or anything that had a bearing on the game. It was finals rugby how it should be played.
Also, looks like no crowd there in the video but camera was in front of main grandstand (only one open) and there was plenty of supporters there.
Up the Cote!!
