@mikedogz The Hurricanes girls' semi-finals are next Wednesday (9 August), but not sure which schools are playing. Manukura (Palmerston North) will be one of them and probably St Mary's College (Wellington), but the others?

[Bovidae]

I did see this:

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Hmmm, that would mean they skip the semi-finals. Not that I'd give Feilding HS and Hastings Girls' much chance to reach the final, but IIRC they were the other semi-finalists, last year.

[mikedogz]

Manurewa might be focusing on defending their League title they won last year.

[Bovidae]

In the CNI, Wesley can still sneak into the SFs if they win their postponed game against St John's Hastings. It sounds like they had a dose of home-town refereeing against FDMC.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae St John's Hastings is a really weak team (even more so this year), so Wesley will win that game easily.

There's conflicting info, but I think that game will be played on Wednesday in Hastings.

[Bovidae]

I'm also not sure what the tie-breaker is, wins or PD. Wesley and St Peter's drew so it won't be who beat who.

[Dolamite]

@Bovidae 1. Head to Head
2. Points Difference
3. Points Scored
4. Ballot

[Chester Draws]

Wesley beat St John's Hastings by lots, as expected, so will be travelling to St John's Hamilton for the semi-final. A tough call, given the amount of travelling they have done recently. But they did win the head-to-head.

St Paul's only coming sixth won't go down well at the school!

[Bovidae]

@Chester-Draws The CNI play the final in Taupō, so not really a home field advantage.

[Stargazer]

@Chester-Draws Yeah, it was 15 - 62 to Wesley College.

[Bovidae]

St John's vs Wesley will be a good game, as both have similar strengths with some big, physical ball-carriers.

[Chester Draws]

They play the final in Taupo, but not the semis.

[Bovidae]

The Super 8 2nd XV final played today was also live streamed.

Hamilton BHS is meant to play St John's to decide the Waikato Chiefs Top 4 team. This will have to be a midweek game due to the CNI schedule.

[mikedogz]

Best of the rest in the Waikato.

Cambridge High School win Waikato Secondary School Girls 1st XV Final

In what was a special occasion at Cambridge High School Wednesday evening, the home side been crowned Secondary School...

I think the Chiefs Manawa final is this weekend.

[Bovidae]

@mikedogz said in 2023 School Rugby:

I think the Chiefs Manawa final is this weekend.

Tomorrow afternoon.

I saw that article, and assume CHS played the HGHS 2nd XV or a lower team?
