Harbour
win National 7s
|
After
a long wait, Harbour have finally won the National 7s title
which was last held by the Union in 2001.
An extremely
fit side and stand-out performances from Luke Hamilton,
Jona Tuitoga and Nafi Tuitavake saw Harbour beat Counties
Manukau 29 - 26.
Final:
beat Counties-Manukau
Semi-final: beat Waikato
Quarter-final:
beat Wellington
A fan
in the generally vanity of a well-known North Shore watering
hole said, "beating Waikato was the highlight of the
tournament 'cause we never do and they are such deviant,
six-fingered twats".
How
good was Luke Hamilton by the way?

Everyone's
excited ... well at least two people are!

“I
am excited about the opportunity to coach North Harbour
in the Air New Zealand Cup ..." official quote
from Craig Dowd on the Union website
"'I
am excited about the opportunity to work with Craig and
the North Harbour Rugby Union ..." official quote
from Jeff Wilson on the same site
Editor:
Can someone please confirm the actual coaching experience
that Dowd brings to the job and we're looking for something
more than just taking front row training as a player/"coach"
in the UK

Congratulations
to Harbour B team on their fine season.
Although
they were narrowly beaten in the final by Canterbury, Blair
Larsen and his Harbour B team did the Union proud and at
least gave the Harbour fans the chance to support a team
that played with pride!
North
Harbour 13 (B Botica Try, Con, Pens (2)), Canterbury 20.
HT Score 10-5.
