Hawke's Bay Club Rugby 2022

Colts got the W. Now for the prems. Let's go tech. Still remember the 03 or 04 colts final loss due to some questionable time keeping by the ref vs chb in the finals. Glad we got some redemption.

@Magpie_in_aus Tech has some work to do in the 2nd half. Trailing 13 - 22 at half time.

Yikes.

Watching via a mate stories. Missed the kick to take the lead....

@Magpie_in_aus Commiserations. Taradale has won the game in golden point extra time. I think it was Kienan Higgins who scored the try, almost straight from kick-off. All those missed kicks have cost Tech the title. It shows how important Sheridan Rangihuna's boot has been for Tech; shame he got injured.
FT: Tech 28 - 33 Taradale

Golden Point extra time would seem to be a new rule this year.
The extra time rule in place for last year's playoff matches - but not required in any of them - was:
- 10 minutes each way.
If scores still level
- Team scoring most tries in the match will be declared the winner
If tries scored is level
(3) Team with best for v against points differential in all comp games played will be declared the winner

Worst day at McLean Park ever. 3 great games of rugby, and I was stuck in the hall running the HB Table Tennis champs... Congrats Taradale
-
@Stockcar86 Excuse me! I kicked every single lamppost between McLean Park and Whitmore Park, some of the two or three times, as I stormed out afterward on the walk back to the Home of the Texans.
Quite happy with the Colts result though as I am one of the self appointed officials of the HB Champions. -

@Stargazer These are Tamatea socks, or are in colour at least. If you can see any shots of Messrs McClutchie or Kereru-Symes who are both Tamatea players you can compare them with Enari's

@Stargazer I might have to concede defeat as the sock hoops in both photos look to be the same size and colour. The could be another explanation in that he pinched them from McClutchie's gear bag after forgetting to bring of his own pair. There was a couple of players that had socks that I did not recognise, think one of them might have been Lolani Visinia, but if not the socks were some sort of black and white hoops.
-
@Higgins No socks stolen. Below is the best evidence yet. An instagram post from Tamaea, reposted by Enari with a club day comment, which was then reposted by Tamatea with "kei a mātou te whiwhi" underneath.
Lolagi Visinia was wearing his Clive socks (blue/yellow), just like Josh Kaifa.

Too early for me to start a 2023 club rugby thread, so posting it here.
This was posted on the Tamatea FB page:

It's official!
Tamatea retains Premier status for 2023 HB Club Rugby season.
Tamatea finished last on the Maddison Trophy table, due to points deduction for playing an unregistered player. Normally, that would mean relegation to the Town/Country division for round 1 of 2023 club rugby.
The winner of the Division 1 Final is entitled to promotion, unless they already have a team in the Premiers division. In that case, the loser of the Final is next in line. MAC won the Division 1 Final, but already have a Premiers team. The loser, Porangahau, have not. I haven't been able to find information about whether Porangahau has decided itself to stay in Town/Country, whether the HBRU altered the promotion/relegation rules due to the Covid related changes to the club rugby format in 2022, or whether there is another reason for Porangahau not taking Tamatea's spot in the Premiers.

Looks like they are retaining an 11 team Nash Cup afterall. Sensible really when all teams last year were reasonably competitive despite a couple of big hidings here and there. Relegating a club when they are still doing ok at the first team level makes it so very difficult to get back up again if the relegated club suffers an exodus of their top team's players. Hopefully this will be a lesson for all clubs to redouble their efforts in recruiting a few more players to ensure players do not have to double shift on a Saturday.
