Round 9 - 18th May

By Lindsay Knight

Appropriately as the trophy is named in honour of one of the club’s greatest playing icons, North Shore continued its dominance of the Buck Shelford Shield on Saturday by taking out of the North Harbour premier first round competition.

Shore, as expected, overwhelmed Mahurangi at Warkworth 57-8 to finish five points clear of the second placed team, Takapuna. The easy win enabled Shore’s young first five-eighths Jacob Botica to mark the occasion with a personal milestone.

He converted six of the nine tries to take his tally for the season to 109 and become the first to top a century in the premier competitition this season. By so doing he followed in the footsteps of his father, Frano, now Shore’s coach, and elder brother Ben in maintaining the family tradition of prolific goal-kicking.

Former representative hooker James Hincho, now a veteran, also excelled for Shore, scoring two tries.

Shore’s arch-rivals,   Takapuna, finished the first round a clear second by beating the other front-runner Marist 30-20. However, it had to overcome a poor third quarter when Marist, after trailing 22-10 having had the wind advantage in the first spell, capitalised on Takapuna’s mistakes and pulled the score back to 22-20.
