Wesley took the lead in the first half when they booted through a loose ball about 50 metres and eventually scored. They took an 8-0 lead into halftime. Feilding put in a lot of defensive work in the first half and had a couple of scoring opportunities, but didn’t finish off. In the second spell Feilding spent a lot of time in Wesley’s half and with six minutes to go, were finally rewarded when hooker Vernon Bason drove over to score the winning try. “We got stuck in during the second half, we just couldn’t get our attack going,” Lock said.

Boys’ High’s defence stood up to waves of New Plymouth attack. Boys’ High missed a couple of penalties and a dropped goal which would have eased the pressure, before they were awarded a late penalty which Heaphy kicked to make it more comfortable. Both sides struggled to move the ball, so it was a defence-dominated game, with Oudenryn making lots of tackles and carries. Flankers Tom Illston-Park and Joe Simpson-Smith and second five-eighth Leo Gordon were other workhorses on defence. Boys’ High are away this weekend against Tauranga Boys’ College.
