Could be, Looking at the draws through the Counties website Wesley have:
15 May vs Tauranga Boys (Chiefs Cup)
19 May vs Francis Douglas College (Chiefs Cup) Last Saturday's game could be the one that counts

They played St Peters on 2 May for CNI comp. Saturday games are for CNI

Hamilton's traditional fixtures are all against Super 8 schools (NPBHS, TBC). Their main traditional game is Auckland GS but they've wussed out. I don't know the details of other schools.

I'm a bit surprised by the MAGS v De La Salle result. I was expecting the scoreline to be the other way around. Is that result confirmed?

Stargazer

@mimic Yes, that has been confirmed.

So looks like Hastings Boys two years of glory are over, normal service resumed ... oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

I'll put their loss down to jet lag.

Have TA always been in the CNI comp? Think they have had about 2-3 competitive years since 2000 CHB would have surely been a more consistent performer outside of the SJC and LFC teams in HB

Stargazer

@magpie_in_aus I think they were added two or three years ago, but I'm not sure about that.

Te Awamutu were playing in the Counties-Manakau-Waikato comp the last couple of years. They've got a lot better recently in all their rugby (I suspect the whole school as a whole has).

I think that CMW comp has folded though, and some of the Waikato teams are now CNI (which used to be mostly private and ex-private schools) and some like Wesley dropped out(?).

Cambridge have dropped quite a long way recently. Can't say I mind, as I do not have good memories of playing Cambridge teams. It's their parents that I hate, the school itself is OK.

@stargazer
Just looked. They got added in last year. Anymore 100point games might not last long

Chester Draws

@stargazer

Well that's confusing. Thank-you for the clarification.

Did Wesley change their minds, or was my information about them talking of leaving CNI wrong?

mikedogz

Stargazer

@mikedogz What about the Chiefs Cup?

mikedogz

I know Wesley have a game tomorrow against Tauranga. Only info I can find is through Counties draws. no info added on points table.

Stargazer

@mikedogz St Pauls Collegiate is also in CNI.

Hamilton BHS pulled out of the Chiefs Cup because they are usually just playing the same teams they will meet in the Super 8, and Chiefs Top 4 playoffs. Last year Ham BHS played Rotorua BHS 3 times (Chiefs Cup round robin and final, Super 8).

So they are playing other Hamilton schools but these games aren't always competitive. I went to watch Hamilton BHS play St Johns on Sat. Hamilton won 79-0. This Sat's game against St Peters Cambridge will be closer.

There is now a University of Waikato Chiefs Secondary Schools Competition featuring other teams from the region. That has replaced the old Chiefs Cup.
