WAIKATO FACE OFF AGAINST COUNTIES-MANUKAU

August 22, 2008

On Sunday 17 August at 11.30 am our Waikato boys took on their first pre season game against a visiting Counties-Manukau side. The game was held at Taupiri RFC, whose fields have held up much better than others with the weather bombs of late.
A game of 3 3rds, Waikato dominated from the start with both the backs and the forwards scoring a total of 7 tries. Counties-Manukau played a gutsy game, never giving up for a final score of 41-5.
A great effort and outcome for their first time out, Waikato U13s you should be proud!
Thanks Counties- Manukau for venturing down into the winter Waikato weather and good luck for your build up and up coming tournament.


THUMBS UP TO TAUPIRI RFC

A special mention must go to Taupiri RFC who went above and beyond in their hospitality. Because of bad ground conditions at Marist there was a last minute venue change and Taupiri RFC not only allowed us full access to their grounds, clubrooms and facilities but they came down on their Sunday morning and thoroughly cleaned up the clubrooms after a function held there the night before, setting it all up again for us.
Thanks Taupiri RFC it was really appreciated!

WAIKATO WIN AGAIN

In conditions best suited to the ducks seen paddling happily around the field before the game our Waikato boys faced the King Country in their second pre season match on Sunday 24 September at Waitete RFC, Te Kuiti.
With torrential rain, strong gusty winds and cold temperatures it made for very difficult playing conditions however the Waikato boys again played hard scoring 5 tries and 2 conversions. Being King Countries first pre season game they also played hard but were just unable to convert it into points for a final score 29-0.
Today was also to be the day where the squad was finally cut down from 26 to 22, to those 4 boys who did not make it this time, you should be very proud of yourselves and your achievements. You are all great rugby players and we wish you all the best for your future.
To the final squad of 22 you should also be very proud; you have all worked extremely hard to get this far, showing skill, guts and commitment. We wish you all well for the next month of build up and for the up coming tournament.
Go Waikato!

WAIKATO PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT

Pia Doughty
September 15, 2008

On Sunday 14th September Waikato played The Bay of Plenty at Hautapu RSC, Cambridge in what was expected to be a hard match for both teams, and good build up for the coming tournament.
In the first half Waikato created a few try scoring opportunities which they were unfortunately unable to capitalize on, they also defended with great intensity keeping the Bay down to only one unconverted try before halftime.
The second half saw more hard battles up front. Waikato dominated in the line outs through awesome jumping on attack and ball being stripped on numerous occasions against the throw. Both teams gave it their all having to fight for every opportunity they got. Waikato centre, Chris Bronswijk went across the line after a spectacular break, however The Bay scored a further 2 more tries, 1 converted for a final score of 5-17.
The most intense pre season game played thus far Waikato did an awesome job, the final scoreboard maybe not showing just how close the game was, and how easily it could have been ours! Only 2 more weeks of training you are doing an absolutely awesome job boys, keep it up! Be proud of yourselves! Go the mighty Waikato!!
