Tamaki Int. - Boys Rugby Eastern 4

This is the final part of our highlights of last weeks Eastern Zone Boys Open Grade Rugby Finals. After defeat against Howick Intermediate in the Semi-Finals our Boys had to play against Pakuranga Intermediate School for 3rd/4th. In pool play Pakuranga had managed a 14-0 win with convincing forward work and excellent attacking from the backs. This time the score was 5-31 to Pakuranga, although it was close at half time, Pakuranga ran away with it in the second half, scoring a series of long range tries.

Filmed by Josh P, Sosaia and Moli as with all other footage from this tournament filmed at Dunkirk Reserve, East Tamaki on Wednesday 4th June 2008.

Tamaki Int. - Boys Rugby Eastern Zone 3

After first winning 31-14 against the Ellerslie/Panmure team, our Open Grade Boys then suffered consecutive losses to Pakuranga (0-14) and then Remuera (5-31). This meant that they qualified for the Eastern Zone Semi-Finals but had to play against the number one qualifiers Howick Intermediate School. These are the highlights from the match presented by Sosaia and filmed by Moli, Sosaia and Josh P. Like all footage from the day this was filmed at Dunkirk Reserve in Panmure, Auckland, New Zealand on Wednesday 4th June, 2008.

Tamaki Int. - Boys Rugby Eastern Zone 2

After securing their first win of the season against the Ellerslie/Panmure team in the second game of the Eastern Zone Finals Tamaki's Open Grade Boys took on Pakuranga Intermediate School. Pakuranga scored what has to be one of the season when their full back runs nearly the full 100m, you really need to check that out. Could Tamaki stage a comeback like their first game? Could Pakuranga hold out? Tamaki's forwards had dominated the Ellerslie/Panmure pack but could they back it up... all this answered in this video!

Filmed by Sosaia, Joshua P and Moli. Moli also interviewed Ricky after the game, and he reveals the tournament results to this point. As with all Eastern Zone footage this is filmed at Dunkirk Reserve in Panmure, on Wednesday 4th June 2008.

Highlights from Tamaki Intermediate opening game of the Eastern Zone finals on Wednesday 4th June 2008.

Tamaki started the tournament against Bailey Road/Stanhope Road (also know as the Ellerslie/Panmure cluster). Tamaki's Boys were looking for thier first win of the season and wanted to make a statement in the opening game. Filmed by Josh P, Sosaia P and Moli, Moli also interviews Tamaki's Captain Alex after the game. Could Tamaki start the tournament in the best possible way?

Tamaki Intermediate - Week 5 Update

Congratulations need to go to Remuera Intermediate and Howick Intermediate Open Grade Boys who fought out one of the closest contested Eastern Zone Finals in memory when a 12-all draw was won by Howick who had scored early in the first half. Pakuranga defeated Tamaki Intermediate in the 3rd/4th play off. We are working out way through the highlights, and will begin the first post of these on Friday.

Tonight out Girls took on the undefeated BBI Girls Basketball. BBI proved why they are one of the favourites to win the league in a devastating first half they took an amazing 38-6 lead. Tamaki were able to control things better in the second half with the final score being 54-16. Tamaki's leading scorer of the year Lasini was shut down by impressive BBI defence who managed to restrict her to 4 points. Maggie scored 6, Patricia 4 and Meliame scored her first basket of 2008. The team will be looking back to bounce back with a game against Sylvia Park 'A' team next week.

Tamaki Int. - Boys Rugby Schedule 4th June

On Wednesday 4th June our Boys Open Grade team will be playing a series of games throughout the day at Dunkirk Reserve, Panmure.

The Boys kick off at 9:45am against the Bailey Road/Stanhope Road combination team, following that up with pool play/grading games against Pakuranga Intermediate at 10:40am and finally Remuera Intermediate at 11:35am.

All going well the team should make the semi-finals which take place at 12:45pm followed by the 3rd/4th play off and the finals at 1:45pm.

While the team has found the friendly games against two of the teams that we have to play on Wednesday tough going, Alex and Takavaha (the co-captains) are confident of securing some good results, and who knows, the team may emulate the teams from 2004 and 2006 who took the title! It goes without saying that the highlights, results and tournament information will all be aired here as soon as possible!

Tamaki Int. - Week Five, Term 2.

This week at school:

Monday: This is Queens Birthday, its a public Holiday throughout New Zealand so no-one will be at school!

Tuesday: Y8 Speech Finals in the Hall. Congratulations and good luck to Lucy and Zubair who are representing Room Six at the finals. We'll be posting the highlights online later in the week.

Wednesday:
The Boys Open Grade Rugby Union Finals. A huge day for our school as our Boys Open Grade team attempt to reclaim the title that we last held in 2006. A important full day of games competing against other teams in the competition - Remuera Intermeidate, Pakuranga Intermediate, Howick Intermediate and the Bailey Road/Stanhope Road Combination team. Having already had friendly games against Howick and Remuera in the past few weeks the team will need to step up for the finals. No more friendly games! The teams forwards have looked dominating this term but the backs need to fire on the finals day against some class opposition.
The Girls Open Grade team are next scheduled to play against St Pius X School in a friendly at Sacred Heart College on June 10th. They will then put their undefeated record on the line at the Eastern Zone finals on June 17th.

Thursday - having secured two wins in a row against Boys teams the Girls Basketball team will really have to step up against the form team of the Thursday night competition, the BBI Girls team. They were runners up at last years Eastern Zone Finals and have played some impressive quality Basketball. Tamaki also get to welcome back the only remaining player from the team that placed 4th at last years Nationals, Meliame.
