A bad week for Bay teams in the first round of the Central North Island competition:
St John's College 1st XV (7) - (73) Feilding High 1st XV (played last Wednesday)
Rathkeale College 1st XV (39) - (0) Te Aute 1st XV (played last Saturday)
Lindisfarne 1st XV (12) - (39) St Peter's 1st XVI know the two best Bay teams are playing in Super 8 and that the weaker teams play in CNI, but still disappointing to see these results.
Lindisfarne used to do well in this comp a few years ago (the days of Emerson and Tiaan Falcon), but those days have gone, it seems. Has anyone ever seen the younger Falcon (Jayden) play? Wondering whether he has the same talent as his brother. -

This one has already been played; I assume the only one Napier Boys will win in the local derby:
Napier Boy's U15 69, Hasting's Boy's U17 0
I have no idea about a cup or trophy they play for. Will be a good game to watch; so disappointing this game is not on tv this year!

Super 8:
Napier Boys HS 3, Hastings Boys HS 38Central North Island:
Lindisfarne College 0, Wesley College 27I'm glad that Hastings didn't smash Napier as much as other schools this year. Don't want our second school to be too much behind. Would love them to be the nos. 1 and 2 in Super 8, but I'm not sure where Napier sits compared to the other Super 8 schools. They're definitely better than last year.

@Stargazer Personally I'm disappointed we let them get 3.

Jeriah Mua (BOP)Just read on FB that Kini Naholo (who may be too old for any U18 squad, considering he's already 18) is a Chiefs rather than a Canes prospect, and also a Hastings prop (not sure who). Haven't seen any confirmation of this, but I'm not happy about Naholo if it's true. Had hoped seeing him in the black & white jersey one day.

ouch
NBHS -
@Stockcar86 Just read on their FB page that 8 players from the NBHS 1st XV team were unavailable due to injury, including their captain Josh Bokser and vice-captain Humphrey Sheild. Not sure whether they could have beaten Hamilton if these players had been available, but surely the score wouldn't have been that bad.

@Stargazer
We toured and played blackrock when I was at Lindisfarne. Really crazy history I think they had won about 90/110 ireland schools comps. Had about 1400 and 42 rugby teams. Think they beat us by about 20 points....ironically they asked if we were one of the top schools in the bay. We were like yeah HBHS only beat us by about 80 and NBHS by about 55.In other news http://www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-today/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503460&objectid=11890233
