Game Report - 29 September
The Final outing for the U85kg team with their traditional fixture against Thames Valley Development lovely weather with the pre match entertainment on board Ritchie’s Coach lines heading to Paeroa with Happy Gilmore as motivation and Mandy the bus driver.
Well this was going to be another wounding match as we just scrapped in at The Live Sport Radio NZ Barbarians Rugby Tournament 9 – 6 to Harbour. So a lot at stake once again.
A Great day for running rugby and this would suit us –in fact 10 Tries were score and the sea saw battle commenced right from kick off – with Mr Stirrat scoring a Try and taking full advantage of the wind and some great runs up field, with Rory Pole connecting out wide with a great solo Try this game could open up – very much a display of festival rugby with both teams scoring plenty of Tries before half time.
Thames Valley had something in there water as they scored two very good tries down both wings before half time and there 6 FT 3 half back had a field day giving good quality ball to runners then connecting to the backs. Half time score 23 – 17 to Harbour. Into a head wind for the Second Half was doing wonders for Harbour and especially with ball in hand Rory Pole, Peter Stirrat , Russell Wood , Andy Mai , Jesse Muir all touched the ball to put Russell Wood in the corner ‘ very exciting and the taste was very nice. Ben Henare at lock was cleaning out there locks and the Harbour forwards started to keep it to themselves making good ground up field and on 4 occasion’s with some good line breaks and pretty much run to the line and score the ball was knock on ‘Trying not to Pulling My Hair Out’ let’s be graceful these things happen all the time ? Well just when the scrum went to the Valley we got a Cam Lardner tight head and a weird penalty to us take the 3 with things were looking pretty good. The Valley replied with a deep kick off knock on again and another 7 points. The Valley scrum was very powerful with their whole 8 just keeped pumping their legs towards the goal line for an extra 7. To be fair the game started to changed almost like another team was on the paddock being the valley ‘ these guys were going for it. Johnny Faasoo playing right wing stood right on the side line with the valley unclear what was going on so Rasta ‘Matt McAlpine made a massive break from the flank which went through 6 sets of hands and johnny which in the corner.
The conversion went astray and we had 38points on the score board with 5 mins to play a short kick off by the valley and penalty for something ‘but valley replied with a kick for corner take the line out ‘ College Rifles all over again 34 – 38 the clock ticking bugger here we go ‘ a good line out by the valley inch by inch pause another inch and that was it ‘ a jubilant Valley ‘someone had just ripped our hearts out….. credit to the Valley they played 80mins to the end and the conversion to add salt in the wound.
Thames Valley scored 6 Tries to our 4. Harbour’s Player of the Day went to Matt McAlpine great charging runs and a great stealer of the ball.
Well that’s all folks a good season over all with the Development U85kg Team being the back bone of this successful team in 2012 ‘ highlights of beating Auckland at the Live Sport Radio NZ Barbarians Rugby Tournament also playing Wellington for Title which the Wellington won.
I would just like to Acknowledge our Sponsors ‘Harbour Rugby for their work behind the scenes and for making our season happen – Sue Mayhew of Bayleys Real Estate, Husqvarna NZ, Wasp Security ‘don’t get stung, and Monty’s Promotions, and our SUPPORTERS.
Our Coaching Staff – Kieran Jones, Reagan Moselen, Boyd Price, Billy Panapa, Sammy Kelly, Brendon King , Deano Allnutt.
The Final word for the growth of the Harbour U85kg Campaign 2012 –Harbour A 11 new players wore the Famous Jersey – U85kg Development Team 9 players went into the Harbour U85kg Representative Team to contest the Live Sport Radio NZ Barbarians Rugby Tournament , Play Auckland for the Challenge Cup and to finish with Thames Valley at Paeroa. ( 20 New Harbour Caps and 8 regulars ) Plenty of talent in our grade.

Date: 22 September
Venue: Mt Wellington War Memorial
Opposition: Auckland
Full-time Score: 8 (NH) 26 (Auckland)
Game Report - 22 September
Harbour 85s versus a wounded Auckland 85s at Mt Wellington and the Challenge cup was at stake. Harbour trained well all week and feeling very good about themselves to fact that turning up would be enough to beat Auckland and again on their soil.
Auckland had other plans and from the kick off Auckland went after anything in the White/ Maroon/ black Jersey and they hunted us right across the park like hungry dogs. The draw and pass game use the width wasn’t working and in the space of 5mins two intercepts and a charge down put Harbour under huge pressure with a Try and a Pen to Auckland to lead Harbour 8-3 at the Break. Harbour had missed 4 Penalties in very handy positions during the first half ‘Peter Stirrat managed a Penalty so we were still in with a chance – a very frustrated XV walk over to the coaches ‘Shell shocked by all.
With Harbour still in the game and trying to keep it simple use the wind our game plan was not working – panic stations was on the mind of the whole 22 – how do we, or what if , or should we – those were the questions that we all had in the minds. Auckland keep scoring an extra two Tries with a Conversion and two penalties.
To be fair Harbour were out played by all accounts and once again the one that got away. Peter Stirrat in the closing stages scored a great solo try what he does best and that’s carving the Blue n White defence line. Harbour showed some good inter passing but playing catch up against a wounded Auckland Team became a huge battle. Texas Ngarongo Porima showed some great challenging runs and was awarded player of the day Sponsored by Husqvarna.
Harbour had learnt a lot from that game take nothing for granted at the best of times. Final fixture away to Thames Valley at Paeroa‘hopefully a Wounded Harbour can finished strongly.
Livesport Radio NZ Barbarians Middleweight Rugby 20/20 Tournament 2012.
September 15th Day One.
Harbour 9 v Thames Valley 6. Daniel Wallis 3 Pens.
First game of the Tournament Wet and Windy conditions didn’t really suit the lighter team being Harbour as Thames Valley Development don’t weigh in. Very much a game of Discipline in Harbour’s favour. The last 5mins saw Harbour Camped on their own goal line just defending and tackling as one mistake could make the Tournament a very different story till the bitter end. Thames just keeped pushing close to the try line but the brilliant defence by the U85kg men became the answer of a win and a well deserved 4 valuable points.
Daniel Wallis saved the day with 3 Pens.
Harbour 12 v Auckland 7. Tries to Texas Ngarongo Porima, Peter Stirrat , Daniel Wallis conversion.
This was a game of history but more important Auckland are the defending Champions since 2008. A lot at stake as over the years Harbour have always been pushed to the limit but always had to settle with ‘we almost won. Right from the kick off the Harbour forwards go into Auckland’s face and started to rattle them, I don’t know what was said in the shed but the forwards gave quick ball to the backs and they went left with a brilliant Try to Texas Ngarongo Porima. From there a high kick off from Auckland saw the ball being knocked on – a good scrum by Auckland and down the blind they caught us napping with a conversion gave Auckland a 7-5 lead at half time.
Harbour had a tail wind with the simple plugging the corners with ball not going out just to see if Auckland had the balls to counter. And they did but the Harbour from left to right was like the Great Wall of China no one was coming through.
A scrum with 5mins to go with 55metres out the backs wanted to have a crack with a nice ball to second 5 Peter Stirrat – peter threw a massive dummy and cut right through the Auks defence with a brilliant solo effect and un touched right under the sticks (the crowd went wild) that’s the Harbour crowd maybe they could smell something in the air. Harbour with 2mins to go and a Daniel Wallis conversion put our boys out to 12 – 7. The kick off by Auckland was short and gathered by the blue n white and great wall on the Northshore wasn’t letting no one in. The Whistle went and the joy of defeating Auckland in Auckland ended the day one.

September 16th Day Two.
Harbour 17 v Waikato 0. Tries to Rory Pole, Hezikiah Bowlin, Texas Ngarongo Porima , Damien Taylor Conversion.
A must win to keep Auckland out of the running was enough to motivate the Harbour men. Harbour were too quick at the break down and there line speed stood out. The game went to quick with plenty of opportunities and greed became the down fall towards the end. Untidy game but we all were pleased with the win and the show down with the other unbeaten team Wellington. 20mins to recover and the final will take place.
Harbour 6 v Wellington Centurions 29. Daniel Wallis 2 Pens.
Wellington certainly showed why they had defeated Auckland, Waikato 20 nil - this was going to be the team to beat. Wellington right from the kick off just had runners coming at Harbour left right and centre, like a missile launcher with the Harbour boys getting hit and with a moment of lapse of concentration they brezzed through with the first two tries untouched. The tries keeped mounting but the Harbour never gave up. Reaching half time the Wellington men lead 22- 6.
The Half time talk did enough for Harbour to start the comeback but with the ball in hand being forced into the wrong areas and the ball becoming very lose with Wellington gathering momentum and another 7 points. The whistle went with some relief as our harbour boys looked shagged but beaten by the better team on the day.
A Great Tournament finishing runners up a very good weekend for the young men.
The NZ Barbarians named the Tournament Team 2012. – Cam Larnder Northcote. Jesse Muir Northcote. Peter Stirrat Marist. Hezikiah Bowlin Kumeu. Texas Ngarongo Porima - Navy Rugby.
