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

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.

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.

Plenty of pre-season games have been played in the last few weeks. A couple of scores from the weekend which surprised me.
St John's Hamilton 7 - 64 Rotorua BHS
Hastings BHS 35 - 17 Westlake BHS -
@Bovidae The first one particularly so.
Rotorua had a young side last year - and went fairly well. Looks to be that they are going to be running hot this year. SJC forward park much the same as last year. New young backline looking at the names. -
I went to watch the Hamilton BHS-Westlake BHS game, which was a Moascar Cup defence. This was a game of missed opportunities, from Hamilton in the 1st half, and both teams in the 2nd half. The team with the wind behind them spent more time in their own half. The last 10 mins became a grind and squeaky bum time when Westlake scored a late try out wide.
Hamilton BHS 10 - 8 Westlake BHS (HT: 7-0)
Hamilton BHS now heads to Japan for the Sanix tournament.

Manurewa High School is back in the Counties 1st XV Comp. Them and Pukekohe High School would be the strongest.
Tipene St Stephens are back after a 20 plus year break. They just have year 9 and 10 students for now but will be a team to look out for in a few years time.

St John’s Hastings - bye (Rathkeale College appears to have withdrawn from the competition)Rathkeale have joined the Wgtn comp, I believe that the travel factor appears to have played a part in the decision. Wgtn Coll beat Hastings 18-17, Stream beat Napier 31-5 over the weekend in preseason games, the reverse fixtures the week before saw the HB get the wins. Coll travel to Hamilton for a Moascar challenge, and Stream have a traditional v Palmy. While the comp starts next week. Interestingly Scots look to be weak at the moment, so they must have run out of money for scholarships (well over half the team in recent years) and returned to being very average at rugby again.
