NPC results archive

[Duluth]

The NPC results page is live:
https://www.thesilverfern.com/npc-results/

It's useable on a phone but better suited to larger screens

These are the matches included:

• First Division results from 1976-2005 (not including relegation playoffs)
• 14 team competition results from 2006-2020
• Placeholder dates are used for some matches in 1992, 1993 & 1994

Search by season
Or search by team and filter by opposition, home/away and year

So basically the same as the SR results page. I might improve it one day (date range search, url variables so you can link to particular search results etc)

There's probably a couple of errors in the data. Let me know if you spot any.

[Duluth]

Also, if anyone feels like correcting the dates for 1992, 1993 & 1994 post in this thread

Pretty sure those dates aren't online anywhere. It's only in rugby almanacks I guess

@Duluth

Do you want to include the promotion/relegation results? I have those from 1976-96.

I can give you the missing dates of the Waikato games from 1992-94.

I have the promotion relegation results too. It was a bit more complicated if to include matches like them

Yes please. Just post it in here when you can be bothered. No rush

@Duluth

Here is the information I have. The dates and scores of the Waikato games are correct, and from another book, I have included dates for other games if provided. It is possible one of the Saturday games was played on Sunday as that is not always clear. There were much more midweek games in those years than I remember.

@Bovidae

Brilliant. Thanks for making the effort

I'll update it in the next few days

[JC]

I hate to be that guy, but Northland only became Northland after 1994. Before that they were North Auckland.

[JC]

Meant to say though, @Duluth , that is an amazing effort.

Yeah I dislike that name so I fixed it

Also the results are linked by team name.. one name was easier

[Duluth]

A couple of changes

• Some data updates that @Bovidae provided
• Team results can be searched within a date range
• The url updates as you search. That means you can link to particular results

For example, here's the link for Waikato vs Wellington in Hamilton over the last 10 years:
https://www.thesilverfern.com/npc-results?type=team&season=2020&opp=wellington&loc=home&start=2010&team=waikato&end=2020

I have tested these changes for approx 2mins. I'm sure everything works great.

Great work, @Duluth!

Great work, @Duluth!

Absolutely, fascinating diving into past results.

We just chuck results in the thread? I've come by a Waikato season overview book from the 1980 season which has all match results in it.

Thanks but I think we have all the results now?

I didn't include any 2nd division games before the 14 team competition. It was getting too complicated
In 1980 Waikato wasn't in the first division
