Region of Origin match reports - September 22​



A wrap of the action from Game Day 2 of the 2018 Region of Origin Series, played at Auckland’s Cornwall Park.

U13 Open – North 16 South 10

A week three decider will be required in the U13 Open Grade, with North completing an impressive seven-day transformation to beat South, having gone down 28-4 in week one. A first-half hat-trick to Raphael Sio set North up with a 12-point lead at the break, but they had to survive a late comeback which saw South score inside the final two minutes and set up a thrilling final set.

CLUBS HOLD ON AGAINST VALIANT SCHOOLS OUTFIT​

Website-image-37-scaled.jpg

24 October 2023

The 18s Clubs vs Schools did not disappoint as they put on a stellar afternoon of rugby league.

Clubs were the first to strike as Kayliss Fatialofa created a half chance for Phranklyn Mano-Le-Mamea to finish off.

Schools however hit right back through lock Elijah Leaumoana as he crashed over from dummy half to even the scores. Both teams hung in the wrestle before winger Raphael Sio gave the Clubs side the advantage again, going into the sheds up ten points to six.

Sio carried his scoring form into the second half as he crossed over two minutes into the stanza. The teal outfit then went on a tear, as Mano-Le-Mamea put his edge rower into a hole and backing up to score under the posts.

With Schools under the pumped Rotorua Boys winger Malakai Cama popped up with the ball, beat two defenders and set up centre Kesaia Su’a to reduce the margin to eight. An obstruction by Fatialofa gave the Schools some attacking position and St Paul’s Sio Kali made his way over to put the game within two.

Sensing the moment, a looping pass from MVP Phranklyn Mano-Le-Mamea connected with Kayliss Fatialofa to once again extend the Clubs lead. Although Rodney Tuipulotu-Vea crossed late it wasn’t enough as Clubs ran out 26-22 winners.
