@stargazer Couldn't Scots afford the bus fare up to Hastings!

Napier Boys have claimed another Wellington scalp. They beat St Pat's Town 29 -19.
In the CNI, Lindisfarne got a good win over Wesley College: 20 - 12.
Unsurprisingly, St John's lost to Feilding HS: 12 - 22. Not as bad as last year, when they lost 0 - 38.

@stargazer I was certainly there in spirit but come Saturday late morning/early afternoon I am pressed into service at my whangai's cafe as he and his wife watch their daughter play for Ories from 11.30 onward. They are staunch practicing Catholics so I am smugly enjoying this result!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today's CNI games:
St John's Hastings just got hammered by St John's Hamilton (12 - 57). Not really a surprise.
I'm now watching Lindisfarne College v Feilding HS via https://sideline.live/play/14601
Lindisfarne line-up:
- Jack Hamilton
- Kingshouse Tupuala
- Jasper Wallace
- Tom Druzianic
- Patrick Tuifua
- Lanson Randell
- Tino Savea
- Tams Heather
- Quinn Stevens
- Monte Timu
- Charlie Roil
- Tuawhio Porima
- Taylor Topp
- Grayson Hesketh
- Matawhero Wakefield Sciascia
- Bruno Wylie
- Hugh Kilsby
- Jonty Good
- Jonty Roil
- George Newman
- Tom Goodisson
I don't know whether openside Tino Savea is related to Jules and Ardie, but he's a strong unit, who just scored a good try. -
Savea would do well in football, too. Bringing Lindisfarne right back to Feilding's 22 with a good kick. It pays off. A few phases later, lock Druzianic scores off the scrum.
HT: Lindisfarne 22 - 3 Feilding HS
I'm pleasantly surprised. I expected Feilding to dominate this game.
Edited: oops, it wasn't quite half time yet. They play on.
-
I'm slightly confused. I still see Lindisfarne's hooker on the field. He must have been moved to another position. Their number 16 definitely has played at hooker since he came on. Loves a driving maul, too, but isn't as powerful.
Edited to add that no. 2Tupuala has moved to no. 8.

Full time: Lindisfarne College 34 - 20 Feilding HS
Fun game to watch. I was really impressed with how Lindisfarne played, although it should be said that Feilding was really weak.
No doubt, St Paul's Collegiate and St John's Hamilton will sit at the top of the CNI by the end of the season, but I think Lindisfarne is good enough for a third/fourth spot in the comp.
The Lindisfarne players who impressed me most, you guessed it, were hooker Kingshouse Tupuala, openside flanker Tino Savea and lock Tom Druzianic. Not on the same level, but first five-eighth Monte Timu and fullback Matawhero Wakefield Sciascia looked the best in the backline.

Maybe the Jaffas scholarship programme is working a bit better this season and Fielding Ag are still at the same strength as they have been these last few seasons!

@stargazer @nepia The fullback has a good Porangahau name if ever there was one.
Yep, looking at some of the names on that team list I assumed that was Hastings. Ta$man-farne scholarships back in full force.
