COB, through their offloading, piled on five more tries to be 36-0 up and a cricket score beckoned in the second spell. One try was a beauty from a restart when Andre Taylor ran from his own line, Johnny Galloway crosskicked and Andrew McDougall scored 100 metres upfield. Instead, Freyberg won the second half 19-5 after they reconfigured their backline and rumbled on the oldest club player in Manawatū, 42-year-old lock Karl Stewart. COB began conceding penalties and injuries hit badly including serious ones to lock Jared Goodson (ribs) and wing Awatere Kiwara (knee).

BIRMINGHAM Last fall, the Birmingham Museum made sure visitors didn’t miss the chance to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They moved the milestone exhibit outside for guests to safely explore.

Johnny Galloway passes from the scrum. He had a strong game on his return from injury. They foraged voraciously at breakdowns in the second half even when Varsity commanded most of the ball and ground away with their hefty scrum. Varsity s backline had only wing Korie Winters lively on attack and their defence, badly missing injured midfielder Hamish Northcott, was breached too easily by Turbos Stewart Cruden, James Tofa and Andre Taylor to set up two early tries. COB s only failing was average line kicking. COB coach Bryan Matenga said when he heard there had been a falling out at Feilding, where Taylor had been coaching, he invited him back to his old club, as a player.
He says they have been competitive, now he would like to start getting wins. “I think all of that will come, we’ve just got to be patient and bring these young fellas through with the help of the senior fellas . I do believe with the players in the group they are capable of being a top-four team. “We just need to get everyone on the paddock.” Freys are without a win after five games, but the days of copping big losses every week are long gone. This year they have a senior A squad of about 30 and even with 13 players unavailable for their 35-14 loss to Kia Toa last week, they still have a full team.
