Congrats to St Peter's. Won with a fantastic second half.
Proud of Napier Boys, who dominated the first half. Only 3 points in it.Watching this game between these two very good teams, the future of NZ rugby looks bright.
FT: Napier BHS 28 - 31 St Peter's College

Haha well just as well they play the games and not just decide the winner on paper eh!
Well done St Peter's - what a season - great to see a different school take out the national title and good to see an Auckland school take it out.
@kiwimurph Haha yeah, we've been underdogs for 4 of the last 5 games. The Westlake game was a good wake up call as we were very lucky to get out of that one, the one game where we were expected to win.

@tim His defence against Hamilton Boys won us the match, and his work from the back of the scrum and ball in hand won it for us today. A real classy player I think his future is at 7 unless he starts growing a bit more as he isn't the biggest loosie going round.

man he looks and sounds like his dad!

If this bit is true, then holy shit!
Bills alleges rich-lister Douglas Goodfellow, when he died in 2014, left St Kentigern $250 million.

i(William) Douglas Goodfellow
Douglas Goodfellow, a son of dairy entrepreneur Sir William Goodfellow, built on his good start in life to become an astute investor and a spectacular donor.
He inherited great wealth but also the Goodfellows’ Presbyterian penchant for altruism and modesty. Once the richest New Zealander, by 1995 he had transferred most of his fortune to chartable trusts.
Goodfellow became a generous donor to the St Kentigern Trust, established in 1949 to facilitate the creation of a Presbyterian boys’ college at Pakuranga, Auckland.
He also established and funded a postgraduate chair in general practice at the Auckland Medical School, the Goodfellow Unit offering continuing education to doctors and nurses in primary health care, and the Douglas Goodfellow Scholarship in Engineering.

I don't know why he stopped at two private schools. Auckland Grammar and MAGS do the same too.
