This seems to be a new initiative.

Anyone have results of preseason games so far?

I heard St Kents beat Hastings Boys 24-20.. not sure if correct scoreline..

A nice little fact:

A unique achievement for the Withy family, with Taine named as the captain of our First XV for 2024 - taking the team to Japan and beyond.
Taine's brother Sean captained the side in 2018, while Aaron captained the side in 2021 - and now three years later, it’s Taine's turn.

Out of curiosity I checked who they were:

None from Kelston, which is a surprise.

Hiraka Waitai-Haenga was the 2nd 5 at Hamilton BHS. His midfield partner had already signed for the Titans.

Seen a post on a Facebook page that HBHS are not letting any of their top players play league. They train like pros so there would be a worry of burnout. Age grade league in the Waikato goes up to Under 17 and is played on Sundays.
