Ardmore's best result of the season!

I heard Te Rapa lost their game in the 80th minute after an intercept. Had a run around at Ngaruawahia at the Prezzies ten a side. On the couch now aching. Old Jimmy from Old boys Tech has come back for another year. The oldest regular active player in NZ club rugby at 81.
-
Huge result in Welly club rugby today, Petone beat Norths 88-14. Future Canes 10 Harry Godfrey at the forefront apparently.

@Canes4life Tuatagaloa also played for Samoa at the 2019 world cup.
Yeah that is a strong backing at that level. One of the Moana wingers Viliame Fine also plays for them when he's available too.
-
@African-Monkey same with Stanley Solomon (NZ Under 20s), Losi Filipo and Tjay Clarke (Wellington Lions), aswell as Lakai, Shields and Southall in the forwards. Could be the strongest club team in NZ if all players were available.

@Canes4life Lincoln University would be tough to beat with all players available.
Scott Barrett Fletcher Newell George Bell Seb Calder Jamie Hannah Cullen Grace Corey Kellow Jone Rova in the Crusaders. Then they have a few in NZ under 20s. Johnny Lee , Ben ODonovan , Liam Jack.
Also considering there have been the likes of Sam Gilbert , Ngane Punevai , Rameka Poihiipi, Connor Garden Bachop in last few years too.
Goes to show what scholarships do for your club.
Haven’t won a championship for a few years though. -

I was prowling the sidelines for this win as well as the previous one. Believe me the long winless spell was made a bit more bearable thanks to probably the tastiest selection of tap beer in all the clubs in Wellington wonderfully crafted by Club sponsors and local brewery Waitoa little more than 400metres from the Axemen's headquarters. A lot of practice has been done over the spell to ensure the supporters maintained aftermatch function match fitness and goodness it was certainly needed until rather late Saturday night!!!!

Wellington club news:
Ardie Savea to play for Ories this weekend.
George Bower returns home to play for Avalon.
Harry Godfrey and Riley Higgins to play for Petone.
James O'Reilly to play for HOBM. -
@Canes4life perhaps he should turn out for Frankton.
-
Paul Dwyer has written in the ODT that Tamaiti Williams is likely to play club rugby in Dunedin tomorrow.

So Bower in Welly and Wiliams in Dunedin. Interesting. Why would Wiliams be in Dunedin, he's not from there is he?
-
Article says for personal reasons. Just a bit of a shitshow he gets to play for a topside
A little birdie tells me Tamaiti Williams, the ABs’ prop, will play club Rugby in Dunedin tomorrow — you heard it here first. Tamaiti is down here for personal reasons and the All Blacks coaches are keen for him to play and apparently contacted the Otago coach to make it happen.
Tamaiti, through Christian Lio-Willie, asked if he could play for Kaikorai and the Otago coach requested that.
The CRC — while supporting him in getting a game — understandably had serious reservations about playing for one of the top three sides against one of the bottom three sides in Taieri. It has been widely reported that Taieri have been battling in the front row all year.
The CRC suggested he play for Taieri, as the other bottom sides were playing each other. Eminently sensible I would have thought. But the higher-ups have decided, and apparently he will play for Kaik. This should have been a great story, but for me sadly tarnished.

Would be interesting to see if this is true because he has also been listed on the bench for his Burnside club in the Canterbury Metro
-
he is not named in the kaik team
-
-
Sevu Reece is playing for Sumner today.
George Bell and Fletcher Newell for Lincoln Uni -
-
@SouthernMann one team is going to be upset. Hopefully Burnside.
-
Williams is not listed on the Otago community page

That was updated before the Kaik Facebook was.

Can confirm he’s playing for Burnside today.
-
Williams and his partner had a premature baby, and it appears she was born in Dunedin so is probably still in hospital down there.

Yes this is known news and a couple months old.
Yes he is down there regularly. He spent a lot of time down there during the season while he was injured too. Like I said above, he is playing club rugby in Christchurch today. He plays at my club so I’ll be down there.

I didn't say it was new news. At least one person on this thread was wondering aloud why Williams would be in Dunedin. I offered a likely explanation as to why. That's all.

Yeah mate. Didn’t mean for it to across like that, was just stating incase people weren’t aware that it’s a couple months old.
The old classic message coming across the wrong way on the fern haha.
-
Ardie Savea played 50 minutes for the Ories.
-
-
Ritchie Mounga has been helping out and training with his Linwood club in Christchurch the last 3 weeks good to see him around his club.

@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
