Picture / Mai Gooch Poverty Bay men's club hockey's reigning champions underlined their No 1 status in making it three wins from three games against their closest rivals in 2025. Laidlaw YMP defeated Gisborne Boys' High School First XI 5-2 on the Hain Farming turf at Harry Barker Reserve to remain unbeaten and on top of the points table heading towards the business end of the competition. The students went into the game on the back of an intense Super 8 secondary schools campaign in Palmerston North and were not at their best against a YMP team, who have had the wood over them all season. Chris Fox and Kohere Tupara each found the back of the net twice in a clinical team performance that enhanced their favouritism for the title. Caleb Taewa put the students in front in the opening quarter, but YMP surged back and a dominant second quarter proved the major difference between the sides.

Picture / Paul Rickard High School Old Girls made a strong statement as the business end of the netball season nears when they triumphed over defending Premier champions Waikohu on Saturday. The Pak'nSave competition game in the YMCA ended 50-43 to Taste One HSOG who led all the way - 12-6 after the first quarter, 27-20 at halftime and 37-32 heading into the last 15 minutes. It was a fiercely fought competition from the first whistle with every pass contested and the ball going up and down the court. It took a minute for the first goal to be scored. HSOG settled better and were soon 9-2 up. They delivered long, hard passes through the court and their players moved speedily on to the ball. HSOG also used zone defence effectively, making it difficult for Claydens Waikohu to move the ball down the centre of the court and into their shooters.
