Hi ,

Greetings all,

Test weekend is always great in Wellington but it goes to another level when you have two Jubilee Cup elimination matches go to the final whistle. Congratulations to Paremata-Plimmerton who finally snatched one at the death 15-14 over Petone, and Johnsonville who denied a determined Oriental-Rongotai 25-20 at the Polo.

That sets up a HOBM v Paremata-Plimmerton semi at the Hutt Rec and the mighty Tawa v Johnsonville at the home of rugby for a place at the big dance.

The Reserve Grade boys were back in action out at Porirua Park 4, taking on a familiar foe in Norths. It was great to see plenty of familiar faces in the squad this week — and even a full reserve bench!

The team put on a strong performance, running in some excellent tries, with a highlight moment going to Lima who dotted down a stunner! Final score: Tawa 46 – Norths 15.

This sets them up nicely for a semi final against HOBM away next week.

I’m still salivating with the prospect of this week's semi-finals. It’s time that we all got off our armchairs and got down to the park to cheer our teams home.

Steve Rogers

President
