On Saturday the 1st XV started their title defence of the CNI competition with a comfortable 97-0 win against St John’s from Hastings. In what can only be described as an extremely one sided game the boys ran riot against the Hawkes Bay side scoring 15 tries with Ferg Burke converting eight and Dillon Kelliher three.
The whole team played well, especially Connor Gordon who cleared ruck after ruck rather than hang out on the wing looking to score.
Try scorers were: Tom Yarell (2), Ferg Burke (2), Della Neli (2), Alex Mitchell, Samisoni Tau’keiaho, George Dyer, Callum Brown, Sal M’Boeg, Blake Wilson, Asipeli Mafuataimi, Conor Collins and Dillon Kelliher.
Next week the team hosts Rathkeale College from Masterton, kick off 12pm. The boys would appreciate your support.
