2023 Hawke's Bay Club Rugby

@Stargazer Very brief mention of it was made in relation to the usage of the Mitre10 HB Regional Sports Park on Ross Holden's sports radio show this morning. It was mentioned that there are five games of league (two reserve grade and three premier grade) being played there today along with the Tui game plus the NZ Short Course swimming championships so parking could be at a premium. Other than that there was no mention of how long the league season was going to be.

It's good that the league comp is up and running again, and could be a good way for Udy-Johns and a guy like Thompson-Dunn to maintain match fitness in case they're needed later in the season.

Hopefully it doesn't suggest that Udy-Johns has been told he has no hope, even with injury, so is just going to play league instead.

[Stargazer]

There's a HB Development Team game, next weekend. It will be interesting to see whether Udy-Johns will play for that team or again plays league with Omahu Premiers.

[Stargazer]

So Udy-Johns, Popoalii and Thompson-Dunn aren't playing for the HB Development team tomorrow.

@Stargazer Thumbs down.

I haven't really followed the U85kg competition, but it was won by Central.

Rugby league: Omahu Huia score 13 tries in league final walkover

Omahu Huia won their second Hawke's Bay premier rugby league title in three years.

Hilarious that Omahu played Bridge Pa in the final - where the hell is the dividing line for those teams?

Bring back Tomoana Tigers - THE league team of the late 70's early 80's.

Flaxmere Falcons all the way.

@stockcar86 Business as usual! https://www.playhq.com/new-zealand-cricket/org/hawkes-bay-cricket-association/senior-summer-202324/waipawa-butchery-division-2a-geoff-pollard-cup/game-centre/6ab705a1

Not too many rugby players amongst my outfit but plenty of tricky spin bowlers that your guys could not handle!!!!

[Nepia]

@Higgins I didn't know there were that many Indians in HB.

[Higgins]

@Nepia Oh yes there are, we have some wonderful eateries up here nowadays. Here is another one of my guys sides chock full of even more tricky spin bowlers (looks like mainly Sri Lankan but definitely from the Indian sub continent) https://www.playhq.com/new-zealand-cricket/org/hawkes-bay-cricket-association/senior-summer-202324/waipawa-butchery-div-2b/game-centre/29d43947
