A beautiful sunny day so I decided to watch a local club game (University vs Hautapu). The interest was that Mitch Jacobson was playing so obviously not in MLR or overseas. Manasa Matele was at centre for Hautapu, while both teams had some Waikato NPC reps and Chiefs U20 players in their ranks. Hautapu was too good in the end. A really good crowd for a club game.

Ben Searle played his 150th for Northcote yesterday in their 34-28 win over silverdale. 3/3 for cote so far but Shore are looking very strong again as they gave Takapuna a real touch up yesterday
Going to ask a dumb question. Are there two divisions in Harbour? Just seem to recall there used to be other clubs like East Coast Bays and wasn't there Marist club?

Bays had a bye last week and a few clubs have fallen away over the years and sadly don't field premier sides any more (well at the moment anyway). So that's Marist and Glenfield. I think those two clubs even combine a few teams at the junior level too - Marifield. Oh and Navy havent been around for years.

They're probably still good enough to make the Wales side with how they're going.

I went to watch the HOB-Marist game. This game had plenty of lead changes, and Marist looked to have won at the end with a penalty near the posts with minutes remaining, but missed. Then they went from inside their 22 and capitalised on a HOB knock-on to eventually score under the posts after a series of pick and goes. Game over.
