@Bovidae I was afraid it would be a big score.

Have they stopped their scholarship programme again?

Yeah you would expect st kents to put up a bigger score. Must have cut back on scholarships. The Lindisfarne factory just breeds top class talent....

Fixtures - Saturday 29 April 2023

Preseason

• Rotorua BHS v St John's, Hamilton (curtain raiser Chiefs v Crusaders)

It's a pity Sky TV hasn't decided to televise this game as it should be a good, competitive match.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Haha, I'd prefer St Pat's Silverstream v Hastings Boys, but I get what you mean. Sky is already in Hamilton, after all.

Hamilton BHS ended up beating Saga Technical High School 24-14 (HT: 5-14) but looked very rusty. It looked liked a lot of the starters came on at HT.
