<p>Here are the highlights from Round 11 of the 1A comp. St Kents coming home with a wet sail...
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worth checking the try by Dilworth's pint-sized first-five Moli Faiva. He's been scoring tries like this last season and this. His size might count against him but he could be worth a look at higher honours next season in his final year...</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Hopefully my old school St Peters can get up at MAGS but I can't see it lol. Bonus points have cost us a bit this year.</p>

<p>St Kents beat MAGS 8-3 so MAGS suffer their first loss of the season. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Hastings BHS-Hamilton BHS Super 8 game was cancelled due to the weather. The same teams meet in the Super 8 final this Sat.</p>

<p>saw a little of the game while flicking channels</p>

<p>Their hooker is the goal kicker! surely must be the only team in the world where that's the case!!!</p> -

<p>Are you old enough to remember when Steve Watt (a prop) used to do the kicking for Auckland? He was a pretty good kicker too - unfortunately, they mainly picked him for his kicking. :)</p> -

<p>Given my religious background, would love to see an all-Catholic final!</p> -

<p>Who holds the Catholic Shield now? Sacred Heart?</p>

<p>Yup, they've had it for a little while now.</p> -

<p>when I played rugby as a kid with Nick White (prop) he did our kicking</p> -
<p>Great to see Sacred Heart win. My old man went there and my uncle taught there. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>MAGS will be tough next week though.</p> -
<p>Bit late to the party, but John McGlashan College broke a 98-year duck to beat Otago Boys 17-15 on Saturday. They will play Southland Boys to see who represents Otago/Southland in the South Island final.</p>
-
<p>As expected Hastings looks the team to beat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hamilton BHS came from behind to beat St Johns 32-29 in a thriller on Tues in the Waikato final of the Chiefs region. Rotorua BHS edged Tauranga BC 27-25 in the BOP final.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So that means the Chiefs SFs in the Top 4 will be Hamilton BHS vs New Plymouth BHS and Rotorua BHS vs Wesley. Matches are played this Sat.</p> -
<p>North Harbour schools final tonight as curtain raiser to Harbour v Counties and it's Westlake vs Massey.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regardless of the result Westlake are going ahead to the play the winner of the Auckland schools final for a spot in the Top 4 tournament in Palmerston North. Massey are going to the Blues top 4 co-ed playoffs.</p> -

<p>Hastings Boys beat Hamilton Boys 30-8 in the Super 8 finals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They play St Pats Town in the semi finals of the Hurricanes Schools this week. The other semi is Wellington College v Napier Boys. </p>

<p>Wellington College at home on Saturday with a 12.00pm kickoff. Will have to make an effort to get along if I don't make it up to McLean Park or get an unexpected late call up from Steve Hansen.</p> -

24 - 3 to Westlake at half time. All tries scored by the inisi brothers, one has a hat trick and the other one. -
