Mixed results from yesterday's games. I couldn't find the result of the U18 girls' game.
Shield Snorters Saracens U18 10 - 33 Horowhenua-Kāpiti U18
Shield Snorters U16 26 - 8 Manawatū U16
Shield Snorters U16 Dev 5 - 40 Poverty Bay U16
Shield Snorters U14 39 - 7 HB U15 Co-ed Boys
Shield Snorters Māori 67 - 0 Manawatū Māori -
Another try fest from the Tui! They've beaten Ta$man 55 to 5.
The age range in this squad is insane. The oldest is probably Emma Jensen at 41 and the reserve prop who scored a try on debut today, Lukika Fa'avae, is only 16. Under the competition rules, they must have asked and obtained dispensation from NZR to be able to select her.
Great season thus far. Their biggest round robin game of the season comes next week, when they play Otago.

I am posting this here as it belongs in the Shield Snorters Rugby Section and no where else so not posting it in the Matches Thread.
Anyway found yet another song that expresses our feelings for our team and another one that can go alongside the ones from Hammond Gamble and Bob Houston as movitional songs for us. Also got recollections of another song from sometime in the 80s that was rather short lived so will see what I can do trolling through youtube to try and locate it. Not holding my breath on that one though.
Almost time now so hope final pre match preparations are going well for this pivotal match -

Edit: see those Hastings Boys 1st XV players in the 'A' squad!!! That they were so good this year and still have two years to go in the 1st XV team, is awesome for HB Rugby ... if they stay in the Bay. I also think I recognise a few names from Napier 1st XV.

Wellington v Shield Snorters -
The Tui play their last round robin game today. Otago is also unbeaten this season, and tops the table (better points differential). It would surprise me if they don't meet each other again in the Championship Div Final again in three weeks. Unfortunately, the game isn't televised or livestreamed.
