School Rugby 2025

[Bovidae]

2024 was the end of an era for Nigel Hotham and Greg Kirkham, who had coached the Hamilton BHS 1st XV since 2003. The new coaching group has been announced, all former old boys and 1st XV players. No pressure.

@Bovidae Is Cam Moorby looks like Josh Moorby

So modest to enter the Hurricanes semi-finals and finals in their fixtures list by Fielding.

@Chester-Draws
Feilding did it last year.
Be ambitious.

PNBHS from 2023 - seen plenty of schools do this.
Just setting out potential fixtures through the year for families to organise for the possibility - not everyone lives locally in major metro areas - both Schools with hostels with a widespread catchment.

I don't know about PNBHS, but Fielding manage to "catch" quite a few boys that aren't in their catchment area.

I can see why they put up the dates for the post-season fixtures, but it rankles me a bit that they give the Hurricanes ones the same billing level.

@Chester-Draws
If that is a sides ambition why not set it down to target it?
Napier also guilty previously of being modest.

I'm sorry can you explain your manage to "catch" comment? That seems somewhat resentful.
