2023 Hawke's Bay Club Rugby

Just pointing out for @stockcar86 's benefit the Altherm Texan's opposition are actually called Napier Old Boys with the Marist bit an add on as an afterthought, but hopefully it won't make the slightest scrap of difference tomorrow!

I can’t see how Braidwood is a NPC level prop. Every Texan back has bigger thighs than him

Prems Maddison Trophy semi-final:
NOBM 25 - 29 Altherm Tech Tech really deserved the win. They made a lot less mistakes than NOB. I was particularly impressed with Samuels at fullback, and Udy-Johns with good defensive work including a couple of turnovers. Duff Penitito had good penetration for NOB, but the rest of the backline did not have a great game.

@Stockcar86 Having watched him all season (the last couple of games excepted) I agree with your assessment of Liam Udy-Johns and continue to be staggered by his non selection in the Magpies. By the way I had a very slow start to the day today but am improving by the hour! Shudder to think what it will be like next week should the Altherm Texans capture the Maddison Trophy.............

Congrats Higgins.
Thank you, I can confirm that I have made it back to the flat after completing my preparatory celebrations in readiness to start the full celebrations when/if I ever sober up! Somewhat surprisingly I managed to complete the stagger back from the Wellington Football Club's Isherwood Lounge in a distance of only something like about 982.30 metres (normally about 650 metres) so must have accomplished the task in a not too bad of a slalom like path! Having said that I am not looking forward to waking up in the morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must give thanks to the bar staff at the WFC for not booting me out when they were ready to close the clubrooms whilst I finished up all my purchases even though they had to leave me to it all by myself for some two or three hours before I had consumed them all!!!! I am pleased to say that I have not yet had the need the use the chunder bucket they kindly left in case of a mishap, obviously all the preparations over the last forty years had prepared me well! I'll include you @Magpie_in_aus in my official celebrations whenever I sober up enough to start the serious victory toasts! -

Tech's winning try:
I would like to think that I could take this victory graciously but I can't so a big pfffffft to the vanquished, especially after last year!
