Halftime Clive 8 Tamatea 5.

Other half time scores (if they indeed kicked off at 3pm):

Central 10 - 31 NOBM
MAC 24 - 19 Tech

[Number 10]

Clive start second half in style with counter attack from own 22, finishes with loosehead prop scoring in the corner. Converted, 15-5 to Clive.

[Number 10]

Shades of 1971 AB’s v Lions 3rd Test, Athletic Park. Dog on the field.

@number-10 How's Tiaan playing?

[Number 10]

Excellent try to Tamatea. Lincoln McClutchie passed to 2nd 5, doubled round and scored between the posts, and converted.

Clive score converted try right from restart.

[Number 10]

Clive get their 4th try for bonus point, fullback Poto scores out wide, Clive 27 Tamatea 12.

Both McClutchie and Falcon have got involved, taking it to the line and some good tactical kicking.

[Number 10]

Tuitavuki gets his 2nd for Clive right in the left hand corner, 32-12.

[Number 10]

Prop Tane Cooper scores for Tamatea in his 100th game. He kicked the conversion - the AR’s kept their flags down but the ref overruled them and awarded the kick.

[Stargazer]

@number-10 Haha, whether he made that conversion or not, it's awesome!

[Number 10]

Final score Clive 32 Tamatea 19

[Stargazer]

@number-10 Thanks for the updates! What's your verdict on some of the Magpies players and contenders?

[Number 10]

Both McClutchie and Falcon looked good. Falcon was getting good distance on his kicks out of hand. Placed a superb cross kick in the Tamatea 22 to left wing Tuitavuki for their first try. Tuitavuki just had to stand there, catch it, and fall over.

There was no other obvious standout there who might have played their way in for selection for Wednesday night's Shield defence.

Kianu Kereru-Symes was in a forward pack that struggled - particularly at scrum time.

Magpies assistant coach Josh Syms was there keeping an eye on things.

End of the road for Reid

Maddison Trophy rugby heads into the last week before the semifinals

Napier Pirate had an important 39-19 Senior 1 win over Tech's Reserve side, to move back into the grade's top four and revive hopes of a return to Premier rugby for the first-round Nash Cup competition next winter.

The sides ended the day each on 17 points, Pirate claiming fourth place by virtue of the win ...

By the way, I noticed on Zarn Sullivan's instagram (and checked the team list) that his dad laced up the boots for the Pirate's game (wearing the 10 jersey). Bailyn was wearing Pirate gear.

Half time scores:

Tech 29 - 7 Central
Taradale v Tamatea??
Clive 14 - 19 NOBM
Hastings 12 - 7 MAC

[Number 10]

Tamatea defaulted to Taradale.

Watched Clive v NOB Marist. NOB Marist won 41-24. The game turned an intercept try. Clive had just kicked a penalty goal in the second half to close to 17-19 then from the restart Clive spun the ball and NOBM got an intercept for 24-17 and another try quickly after that made it 31-17.

Edit: Sona Taumalolo played for Clive third division team against Havelock North on the next field.
