@Chris i do love hearing stuff like that, seems like such an easy win to get down and do some stuff with your old club. Back in the day Taine Randell was often seen down at Dunedin even if not playing
Yeah me too it is good to see,Ritchie has been at the Saturday games as well.
Don’t ever forget where you came from holds true. -

A growth area in Counties club rugby is women's rugby. Only one team, Manurewa in the Auckland Premier grade but in the Development grade the four Counties teams finished 1 to 4. The winners Patumahoe qualified fourth.

Semi final day down in Dunedin. Green Island finished top after round robin, and are facing a pretty hot Southern side looking for three championships on the trot. Southern have been building well, especially after the return of Jack Leslie at 10. Green Island will be wanting Finn Hurley to be heavily involved from the back. Big Oli Haig will.be coming off the bench.
Dunedin will be playing Varsity in the second semi. I reckon the winner of this will tip up Southern in the final. Dunedin has a better front row with Vaka and Wingham. Varsity has better locks with Tinnock and Aho. Palmer for Dunedin is quality, just has redhead problems. In the backs, Varsity will be focusing their attack around Umaga-Jensen at centre. Jeremiah Asi will ne making his return after a long injury lay off as well. While the young Dunedin back three of the two Southland contracted players Tayne Harvey and Augustine, as well as Otago injury replacement Kyan Rangitutia should cause issues.
I'm picking a Dunedin v Southern final. Repeat of 2023. Bearing in mind this pick is made from my lounge in the Hutt Valley, on the back of reading and watching club footy write ups and videos. -
SFs in Waikato club rugby as well. Marist (1) vs Hamilton OB (4), and Varsity (2) vs Hautapu (3). I will go and watch the latter game although both games are to be played only a few hundred metres from each other. Roe (HOB) is the only regular SR player involved.

Will be a Green Island and Dunedin Sharks final in Dunedin. Finn Hurley featured strongly on the Green Island scoresheet. Will be some good match ups in the final.

Green Island bet a bumbling Dunedin in the Dunedin Club Final.
-
North Shore took out the harbour comp today second time in a row with a 20-15 win over Takapuna
-
Sky Doco on Manukau Rovers rise to win the Auckland club comp in 2022.
Interesting that after winning again last season they fell off a cliff this season and were pretty weak. Many of their best players seemed to vanish over the off season. -
From what I heard, the coach Doug Sanft left and his players he brought in went with him. He was previously at Ardmore Marist in Counties.
-
@mikedogz I see Sanft moved to coach Marist. That might explain their improvement up to losing semi finalists this season.

My Te Rapa Prezzies are playing for a Trophy tonight against Suburbs. Looks like they have a couple of ring ins. Jack Lam, Christian Leali'fano. We have a proper neutral ref at least, who will also ref the final for our A team tomorrow in the Div 1 Bottom 5 Final.
-
-
Our B team won their final by default because Frankton are shit at registering players and putting in team sheets. Our A team play Taupiri tomorrow for the Div. 1 Bottom 5 trophy.
Suburbs play Putaruru for the Div 1 top six trophy and a chance to play the bottom premier team for pro-reg.
