Poneke Presentation to our 4 representative players
On Saturday 31st August we officially recognise the contributions of our fellow Poneke players - Dane Coles, Daniel Ramsay, Ruki Tipuna (NZ Maori) and Charlie Ngatai (IRB U20 Champion). Presentations will start at 5.45pm at the clubrooms. Come along and lets celebrate this fantastic moment!
Jubilee Cup Result - Poneke 45 - OBU 28
Our scheduled 'home' game was transferred to Te Whaea in Newtown due to the ground conditions of Kilbirnie Park. With a sniff of a home semi-final the decision was made to spare the park and play the very first Premier game of club rugby at the new artificial surface. With the change in location. decent weather and ground conditions enabling a full 15 man game it proved too tantalising for sports fans and a good number of supporters showed up for both teams.
Poneke led at half time (20-16) however OBU remained competitive with only pride to play for since their Jubilee Cup play-off hopes were dashed some weeks ago. With handy bench players in Dane Coles and Ruki Tipuna inserted after the half time break Poneke proved too strong.
On the points table Poneke are on top and are 2 points clear of HOBM who we'll be facing next week. Make sure you're at the club on Saturday to support our boys as they play for not only the number 1 position on the points table but also the Andy Leslie Trophy as minor Premier winners.
Congratulations to the NZ Maoris!
