St Paul’s are the 2010 Waikato Champions after a winning weekend of rugby. In the inaugural match for the Ian Foster Shield, St Paul’s Collegiate School faced off against St Peter’s School. This game was also for the honour of reclaiming the Tricolour Trophy and a replay of the First Division final of 2009.
The final is always under the cloud of fierce rivalry and this year was not different. Once again punching well above its weight with nearly half the school roll of its opponent St Paul’s came out highly motivated and muscled their way into the game from the outset.
The St Paul’s forward pack showed cohesion and strength throughout the game to notch up the 21-10 win.
Both teams have players from the Waikato Rugby Union and Chiefs age group teams.
The game was broadcast live on Sky TV on Saturday.
