YMP's winning run continues in Gisborne Premier club rugby despite second-half struggle
Despite not scoring in the second spell, YMP banked the maximum five points and head the table on 30, followed by Tapuae (24), OBM (15), HSOB (12), Ngatapa (11) and Pirates (0). YMP dominated possession and field position in the first half, during which No 8 Niko Lauti got across for two tries after tighthead prop Nehe Papuni scored the opening try from a lineout drive in the fourth minute. OBM's cause suffered a significant blow when they lost centre Ale Paulo in the 19th minute. His yellow card was upgraded to a dismissal for an exchange of views with referee Ben Holt. Openside flanker Te Peehi Fairlie, who was used to great effect at the lineout, scored YMP's fifth and what turned out to be final try just before halftime. YMP were in favourable positions on more than five occasions, but zeal and OBM's scrambling defence denied them. The game was hard-fought as OBM tightened their belts defensively. Skudder was yellow-carded in the 52nd minute and both teams lost personnel to the blood bin. Burly lock Khian Westrupp, YMP's Taste One Most Valuable Player for the second week in a row, blindside flanker Jess Kapene and left-wing Nashwen Mouton were a force of nature with ball in hand. Mouton, winger Quaydon Chaffey-Kora and reserve fullback Taimana Teneti showed flair and made breaks. First five Mitchell Purvis was in sublime form with the boot, converting every YMP try from both sidelines and centre-field. OBM left wing Josaia Bosaka once again proved tough to pin down while halfback Atunaisa Rokotuiwei and blindside flanker-cum-lock Ratu Asivuriusi Nairoroi (OBM's MVP) came up with crucial tackles. OBM's regular captain Jordan Kingi said that, while they had to work hard to get out of their own territory early on, the front row of Ratu Nairoroi (son of Ratu Asivuriusi Nairoroi), Lance Dickson and Levi Soto were key in a solid forward showing at the scrum. Teneti, 20, joined YMP after two years at Otago Rugby Academy and is thriving. 'YMP has an awesome team environment,' he said. 'Older guys take good care of our younger players, make us feel welcome, and Shayde and Will [Brown, coach] are amazing leaders. 'They show us the standard and level we all need to reach every game in order for us to achieve what we want ... to win the championship.' Tapuae vs HSOB There is no more dangerous team than the Taniwha. Wairoa-based Kahu Scaffolding Tapuae proved that in a 48-15 win against Earthwork Solutions High School Old Boys. Tapuae scored eight tries to two on their home Tapuae Sports Ground. Right wing Riko Tupou and fullback Kyoni Te Amo each scored hat-tricks, and hooker Sekove Serau and reserve second-five Zane Douglas one try apiece. Player-coach Paoraian Manuel-Harman kicked four conversions. HSOB fullback Matt Proffit landed a first-half penalty and scored a second-half try, which he converted. Loosehead prop Franco Ludwig got the Blue and Whites' other try. Tapuae led 17-3 at the break. Tapuae were happy to get round 2 off to a winning start after a two-week break. They were beaten 28-12 by competition leaders YMP two weeks ago and won by default over Kevin Hollis Glass Tūranga Pirates a week later. 'Our guys bounced back,' Manuel-Harman said. 'Nothing changed in our tactics or approach. We just ramped it up.' HSOB head coach Wayne Ensor said their basic skills 'were sorely tested early on but we fought back'. 'We actually had the upper hand by halftime. In the second half, though, Tapuae were far too good for us.' Ngatapa vs Pirates Happy but more consistency needed - that was the verdict of Larsawn Ngatapa head coach Sione Ngatu after their 39-17 win over Pirates. Patutahi's finest outgunned the Buccaneers by seven tries to two at Paddy's Park for their second win of the season. Ngatapa led 17-10 at halftime in front of a crowd of 400. Right wing and Ngatapa's MVP on the day, Joeli Ragoneliwa, scored two fine tries. Led by loosehead prop Jesse Sweeney, Pirates cut the line for quality tries to second five-eighths Jackson Gray and promising fullback Avia Ropati, who converted both and kicked a penalty goal. Pirates' MVP was reserve hooker Moeakiola Pole, while tighthead prop Leon Stevenson, lock Ngāmetua Cummings and halfback Atapana Vili Sua impressed on debut. 'Our set-piece play was good - and we're happy with the win - but we need to be more consistent,' said Ngatu, whose captain and lock Jack Twigley was at the heart of the Green and Whites' effort. Sweeney said he was proud of the way they kept their composure against a Ngatapa team who were 'always tough'. 'Moeakiola, Avia and second-row forward Kiri Latu were good value. They're experienced and help the new guys to become quick learners and adjust to our style of play.'

Athletic and Shockers advance in Gisborne football's Bailey Cup knockout
Wainui Sharks opened the scoring in their game against Shockers, through Jet Koll in the 18th minute. A Matias Pincini own goal in the 25th levelled the scores, and a 55th-minute penalty from Brad Clark and a 75th-minute strike by Max Harris won it for Shockers. In Chris Moore Cup action for Tairawhiti Division 2 teams, Thistle Vintage-Masters beat C & G Plumbing High School Old Boys Eels 5-4 at Harry Barker Reserve. The teams were level 3-3 at halftime but two quick goals after the break put Thistle in the box seat. A Hayden Beale own goal from an attempted clearance gave HSOB a whiff of a comeback but Thistle held on to progress to the next round. Neil Hansen grabbed a hat-trick for Thistle, and Aaron Barnby and Dane Sables scored the other goals. For HSOB, Jonah King scored the first two goals and Damon Husband cut in from the right wing to steer the ball into the far corner with his trusty left foot. Husband and Jimmy Holden joined HSOB this season from United. At 43, Husband can look back on 13 good years with United, and Holden can reflect on even more. Husband rejoins Steve White, a teammate from early Bohemians days, while Holden makes the Eels midfield a family affair, alongside sons Jack Holden and Tama Wirepa. The Eels have also picked up a handy goalkeeper, Matt Wotherspoon, from Wainui this year. Thistle Vintage-Masters live up to their name, with several well-performed players who could now be called veterans ... Roger Faber, Toby Pickering, Matt Feisst, Neil Hansen, Hayden Donnelly and Hayden Beale spring to mind, while Stefan Faber is in there to bring down the average age and raise the average speed. Coates Associates Wainui Demons beat HSOB Campion 4-1 at Wainui. Striker Mark Harris, left-winger Richard Harris and defender Simon Lawler each scored with headers that owed much to the delivery from Mitchell Moore-Brouwer and Jamie Aitken. Demons' player of the day, striker Ben Inder, scored with a 'screamer' late in the game to cap an energetic individual performance. The Demons' passing was a feature of their play. Right-winger Jaia Harris made a solid Demons debut, while defender Moore-Brouwer made some telling blocks and Renata Walker put in a good shift at centre back and in midfield. Goalkeeper Jacob Moorcroft – a handy outfield player – was a sound last line of defence. Campion showed plenty of spirit, and Erick Azevedo scored a 35th-minute goal that kept them in the game and gave them some reward for their efforts. In women's football, Gisborne Laundry Services Wainui Riverina kept their 100% win record intact, with a Bree Allan own goal adding to skipper Lily Auckram's penalty to give Riverina a 2-1 victory over Smash Palace Shockers Black at Wainui. Riverina have 12 points from four wins, while Shockers Black and Allan Kellett Panel and Paint Thistle both have seven points from two wins, a draw and a loss. JT Contractors United and HSOB High School Old Girls are on four and three points respectively after United won their clash at Harry Barker Reserve 4-2. Jessica Taylor scored a first-half hat-trick in the space of 18 minutes, with goals after eight, 17 and 26 minutes. Skipper Sarah Graham scored United's third goal, after 18 minutes. For HSOG, Kirstie Lovell scored after 10 minutes and skipper Courtney Farrell scored after 37.

YMP seal Premier Cup first-round honours in Poverty Bay club rugby
YMP's win owed as much to patience and composure as their physicality and flair. No 8 Niko Lauti led by example, but it took 27 minutes for the black and whites to post their first points – right winger Nashwen Mouton scoring in a scramble to the ball after it was kicked down the ground from a scrum. Powerhouse openside flanker Te Peehi Fairlie went over from a penalty tap-kick-and-go in the 32nd minute, and blindside flanker Jesse Kapene hulked down the left touchline to score in the corner as halftime beckoned. First-five Kayleb Te Whare converted to give YMP a 17-0 lead at the break. Ngatapa hit back nine minutes after the resumption when left wing Joeli Ragoneliwa finished strongly, and reserve first five Rian Norton converted for 17-7. With a quarter of an hour to play, YMP again tapped and went from a penalty given by referee Lenny Ferris 12m out and centre Iziah Fox dotted down in the left corner. The final say went to YMP reserve lock Siope Piukana in the 77th minute, thanks to a magic short pass from former Ngatapa man and second five Anthony Karauria. OBM's mission was to retain the Peter Martin Cup, played for between themselves and HSOB, but equally important was producing rugby worthy of the legendary Dickson's 150th appearance. The tone was set quickly for fast rugby, and OBM's Most Valuable Player on the day, left winger Josaia Bosaka, reaped the benefits with a four-try haul. Bosaka dotted down in the corner to open the scoring after nine minutes, and five minutes later, halfback Atunaisa Rokotuiwei made a sniping run from the base of the scrum to score under the crossbar. First five Tawhiri Walsh converted for 12-0. Two minutes after that, Bosaka crossed for his second, and Walsh's conversion made it 19-0. HSOB got on the board in the 38th minute with a try to second rower Viliami Kavai, converted by fullback Matt Proffit, and on the stroke of halftime, left winger Te-Reimana Gray scored in the corner for 19-12. OBM got back on track with a penalty kick from centre Austin Brown on the hour mark. Bosaka completed his hat-trick in the 73rd minute and got his fourth on fulltime. The 20-point deficit did not tell the story of how evenly matched the teams were across the park. Referee Ben Holt was called on to make several tight calls, including two hair's-breadth forward passes against HSOB in the second half. HSOB won the lineout count 17-8, OBM the scrums 9-4, and they shared penalties 15 apiece. 'Our boys' effort was outstanding,' OBM head coach Kahu Falaoa said. 'Our tactics didn't differ, but the key word for us in the last fortnight has been attitude. The boys all did their jobs [but] we still have improvements to make in terms of our discipline.' HSOB head coach Wayne Ensor said his team started far too slowly and had to play catch-up rugby, which led to uncharacteristic errors. Round 2 kicks off on Saturday with Ngatapa hosting Pirates, Tapuae and HSOB meeting on Tapuae turf and YMP taking on OBM at Barry Park – all games at 2.45pm.
