Under 85's
A hard fought game against a well drilled Karaka team that has been together for a number of years. The lads never gave up and finished the game off strongly but gave away to many early points to have any chance of a win. A better effort than last week but not helped by the weather that provided very slippery conditions that neither team really adapted to.
Next week home to Pukekohe, another tough one.

It has been a few years since an U85 team took the field for Drury. Looking forward to seeing how the lads shape up in what has always been a very competitive competition. 2023 draw is below.
Not the result the Under 85's were after last week v Marist but to be fair they never had things go their way during the game. I don't want to get in trouble so I will say no more. The team has had limited preparation for the upcoming season and Saturdays game was their first real team run.
A different story this week with numbers growing and two solid hit-outs on Tuesday and Thursday. I have a feeling this team will not long be out of the winners circle. Lets take it to Karaka.
Well done and congrats to Tainui for making it happen.

Under 85's
A tough season for the 85's with only two games to go - home this weekend hosting Onewhero and away the following Saturday to Patumahoe. Lets get a bit of a crowd for them on Saturday
Not much has gone the teams way on the field but they still hang tough post game. Great bunch of guys and hopefully onward and upward for next year.
