Intercept try to Napier! Jacob Cotter is the try scorer. The conversion by Luke Thomas is good.

17 - 26 NP

[Stargazer]

Tauranga driving maul ... results in a try. Hastings Boys' going backwards. Converted.

7 - 12 Tauranga

NP miss a penalty kick. It's still 17 - 29 to NP

Both Hawke's Bay schools trailing now. Come on lads!

[Stargazer]

Great passage of play from Napier, with passes sticking. Jacob Cotter scores his second. Great kick from Luke Thomas!

24 - 29 New Plymouth

[Stargazer]

Yusss! Also a try to Hastings Boys! Easy conversion by Mokau Lambert.

14 - 12 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Great try to Charly Nash in the right corner! Good comeback from Napier; now keep going! Luke Thomas nails that conversion again.

31 - 29 Napier

[Stargazer]

The conditions in Hastings are worse than in Napier. I assume that has to do with the quality of the field, because the weather isn't different. A lot more mud in Hastings.

[Stargazer]

Great defence from Napier sees them stop a try from being scored by NP. Josh Augustine put the boot to the ball and they're back in NP's half. Now Napier gets the penalty. They go for the line-out.

Hastings under the pump again.

[Stargazer]

Try to Napier!! Captain Ta$man Soanai-Oeti is the scorer. Not converted.

36 - 29 Napier

Napier's ground is only a stones through away from the foreshore and even closer to the old Tutaekuri River channel so guess the soil there might be easier draining than over in Hastings.

[Stargazer]

Hastings now back on attack in Tauranga's half.

Awesome try to Raef Robinson. Mokau Lambert converts. Great kick.

21 - 12 Hastings

[Stargazer]

Josh Augustine is having a great game. Good turnover.

[Stargazer]

Tauranga Boys get the penalty, close to Hastings' try line. They're going for a line-out.

[Stargazer]

Napier do the same in the other game.

[Stargazer]

Rinse, repeat, for Tauranga. I hope the Hastings defence holds. Yes, turnover and great clearance kick.

[Stargazer]

Josh Augustine again! Making a great tackle, just when a NP player seems to have made a break. Napier ball.

[Stargazer]

And again! He's having a blinder! He should really be a candidate for the NZ schoolboys team, this year.

[Stargazer]

Hastings having to defend hard, still.

[Stargazer]

Napier Boys have scored again. I couldn't see who scored in the left corning, which isn't covered by the camera.

41 - 29 to Napier with only a few minutes left.

[Stargazer]

It's all Napier at the moment. Really playing well in the last quarter.

Ah, that's a pity. A forward pass. Almost another try to Napier.

And it's all over. Napier win another game.

Full time: Napier 41 - 29 New Plymouth

[Stargazer]

Just as I type that. Taurango finally score a try. Honestly, they deserved that one.

No conversion.

21 - 17 Hastings

Still a few minutes left.
