    • Prem 2 – OBU v HOBM 10-07-2021
      • This is from a new eye in the field who shall remain anonymous for now. A great read I’m sure you’ll agree!! This was submitted a few days after the match but has taken a while to get published. Apologies for that. In the first of two OBU vs HOBM games this weekend the Prem 2’s travelled out to Hutt Rec in search of a win & bonus point to secure a top 4 finish in the pursuit of Ed Chaney. Severely depleted in the front row particularly meant season debuts for Jason Gore from the Righteous Pack & John from the Teddy Bears. Also pulling on the boots in nearly 3 years was Physio Mark Thorne-Alexander.

It was a beautiful sunny day but the sun was quite low on the horizon making it difficult playing into it. There was no wind of any concern and the mercury struggled to get to double digits. Commentary coming to you from the scoreboard grandstand.John ‘JC’ Cable was kindly present to correct my errors.Notable performancesSam Coombs’ nose for the line has to earn him a spot on the list!Dale Sabbagh has become a true leader in the backline over the last few years and the team as a whole. His goalkicking was superb, he was always dangerous on the attack and precise on defence.Matt Fowler was very busy and must have been annoying for the Johnsonville forwards! His distribution was solid and his dabs around the side meant defenders had to stay on him rather than drifting out to the ball runners.It was good to see Reece Plumtree back at this level. He only had 2 or 3 runs but they counted.The whole front row deserves massive ups for a truly dominant performance.The locking combination of James and Taine together with Caleb on the flank gives some great height at the lineout and all three showed great skills and pace around the park while still doing the tight work when needed.How the game unfolded5 mins – OBU turnover a Johnsonville lineout the ball goes out to the left and back to the right a few times before Sam Coombs crashes over the line. Converted by Dale Sabbagh7-0 OBU lead11 mins – Johnsonville on the attack. OBU turns it over and Callum Harkin clears it downfield for Sam Reid to chase. Sam gets up to pressure well but with the naked eye, it looked like he was stepped and instinctively put the foot out which partially tripped the Johnsonville player. Clubrooms discussion afterwards reveals Sam says he went to kick the ball as the Johnsonville player picked it up. Either way, it doesn’t matter the ref calls him over to issue the yellow card.17 mins – OBU is camped on the Johnsonville line. After a few pick and goes Shamus Langton charges to the right side of the ruck and gets over but is held up.18 mins – From the resulting scrum Dale runs it around the outside of the defence and into the right-hand corner. The ref calls it back for a scrum to Johnsonville. I assume it was lost forward in the dive but the referees signal isn’t clear from my position.22 mins – OBU elects a scrum deep in Johnsonville territory after taking the penalty advantage. The ball is cleared to the right and Dale goes around the defenders and dots in the corner and converts it.14-0 OBU lead27 mins – OBU is penalised 30 meters out in front of the sticks the Johnsonville kicker lines it up but launchers a worm-burner. The score is unchanged.37 mins – Matt Fowler breaks around the side of the ruck where Johnsonville had been too slow to mark up. He gets in behind the defence quickly, commits the defender and offloads to Taine Plumtree who saw the opportunity opening up and gassed it to be in support for the pass. Dale converts it.21-0 OBU lead39 mins – Great move down the right-wing. Jack Green runs onto the ball and makes a quick 30 metres before chipping it deep into Johnsonville territory. Matt Fowler runs onto the ball and gets taken in a good solid tackle. There is some phase play before Jack Green gets over the line but it’s knocked on.40 mins – OBU launches a dominant scrum and turns over the Johnsonville feed. Adding insult to injury the scrum drives over the line for Shamus to claim the pushover try.  Dale keeps the kicking run intact by slotting the conversion.Half Time 28-0 OBU lead42 mins – OBU makes a mistake running the ball out from our own territory. Johnsonville turns it over. It looks like it’s going to be a regulation run in for the halfback but he gets caught in a good cover tackle. The loosehead prop for Johnsonville ducks around to the right of the posts to claim the pot of gold.28-7 OBU lead45 mins – OBU brings the ball out from their own territory. Caleb Delaney launches a big long cut-out pass to James Poloniati who steams in from about 35 meters to dot down in the corner. Conversion misses. Reece Plumtree comes on for Callum Harkin.33-7 OBU lead52 mins –  Shamus runs in a try from around halfway outstripping the defenders for sheer pace. Conversion misses. Subs Caleb, Taine, James, Kenan, Matt Fowler off. Replaced by Sam Godwin, Josh Gimblett, Tiaki Fabish, Matt Sleith and Kyle Preston.38-7 OBU lead55 mins – Great run down the right-wing by Reece with a great inside pass to Sam Reid to finish it off. The conversion was successful. Lawrence Lim on for Fui. Lawry, a popular figure, gets a rousing reception from his mates in the Prem Reserve and Colts teams watching on from up on the terraces.45-7 OBU Lead70 mins – Sam Reid takes a good run down the right-hand side of the field and releases the pass to Reece running off his shoulder. Reece cuts back on the angle to the posts to shake any last hopes of a Johnsonville defender covering.52-7 OBU lead78 mins – Johnsonville penalised in their own 22, quick tap taken but comes to nothing Johnsonville not back 10 so we go again. Eventually, Johnsonville number 15 can’t help but play the ball on the ground. He gets a yellow card for his troubles.Final Score 52-7 to OBUScorersShamus Langton 2 x Tries.Taine Plumtree, Dale Sabbagh, Reece Plumtree, James Poloniati, Sam Reid, Sam Coombs – 1 Try eachDale Sabbagh 6 x ConversionsThe post Match Report Rd 4 Swindale – OBU notch up solid victory in Wellington College homecoming appeared first on OBU Rugby.

      • Wow – too big too strong too fast two wins! Our Colts defeated Wainui 49-5 at Mary Crowther to book a finals spot in the early game while in the main game on No.1 our Premier Reserves might be in trouble after an unauthorised demolition of Johnsonville and will host Wainui in the HD Morgan Cup final on No.1 on Saturday. Over at ASB the Netball girls had a two wins and a loss and with one round remaining some silverware looks a distinct possibility! Our juniors had some great results probably none better than our U8 Magpies who defeated West’s 55-35 despite playing the whole game with one less player. The U6s’ beat Wests’ 11-6, U9s’ beat Poneke 80-10 but the U10s’ went down in a tight one 35-25 to Wests’.

      • Disappointed is probably an understatement after Saturday’s 2 point loss in the Jubilee Cup semifinal. It is hard to understand how a referee who does Super 15 has to do the touch while a younger one does one of the top games of the season. It is interesting that the Club Rugby website also referred to the standard of officiating. For those that returned to the clubrooms the look of disappointment on the players, coaches and management faces was chilling, not that they lost but how they lost. It has been a good season for a team who are constantly without a considerable number of players but produce great rugby every week – well-done guys.

      • What a day for our Junior teams on Saturday with two teams heading into the last round unbeaten. We have been following our top Junior side all season but our magnificent U8s’ well coached by Dave “Postie” Douglas were sitting on a perfect record and kept it that way in brilliant conditions at Polo and then following that a comprehensive win for our U13s’ against a North’s’ side that had probably tested our U13s’ more than any other team in there earlier clash at Elsdon Park in terrible conditions. Most of these U13 players are off to college next year with a good many going to Rongotai – under Dave Meaclem, Justin Grey and the rest of the Rugby team at RC these players will enjoy a new environment thanks to the partnership with our friends at Poneke – watch this space!

    • Weekly Clubroundup - 12th April
      • Wins, draws and losses! The results didn’t all go our way on Saturday but good wins by our Women’s and Premiers saw a happy crowd at Saturday’s aftermatch celebrations. A few changes in our team entries this year. Due to a lack of teams entering the there will be no Senior 3rd this year with only four clubs applying. The grade is no more and those teams that entered will now play in Reserve One. Despite a lot of effort the famous Ories J8s are no more after 34 seasons as father time has crept up on a number of the stalwarts. The good news is that those left will either play for The Pressies or in the new Reserve One team which is mainly the players from last season’s S3rds and a few recruits.

      • In beautiful conditions at Petone Rec with a masterful display by our smallest player, halfback Sean Hay, The Tracer Construction Premiers put Petone to the sword 55-15. Not much to brag about down through the grades but our Netball girls again did us proud on the court going 3-0 and they put on a great “do” at the clubrooms Saturday night.

      • 1, 2, 3! Good wins for our Premiers, Senior 1st and Senior 2nds on Saturday saw Upper Hutt and Avalon head home wondering what hit them! Avalon accused our S2nds of fielding too many players – we are struggling for numbers so too many players are impossible! Our Women’s team returned from Stokes Valley with a narrow loss while both our Colts and Reserve team came second against Avalon and Upper Hutt respectively. Netball was 2-1 with Ories Gold continuing on their winning ways. They have been promoted up a grade and with Epi Lima in devastating form won by over 30 goals!
