PNBHS 1st XV vs Lindisfarne College 1st XV - Saturday 27 March 

After working hard in practice, the 1st XV traveled to Hawke's Bay to get their season started against Lindisfarne 1st XV in their traditional pre-season fixture. A slow start gifted Lindisfarne the initiative and despite scoring a well-worked try, struggles at the set-piece and missed tackles allowed Lindisfarne to dominate possession and they built a 15-7 half-time lead. 

The half-time talk focused on our accuracy at set-piece, the need to get up in defence and make our tackles and impose ourselves on the game. The boys responded well and began to take the game to Lindisfarne. They managed to secure more possession and scored three well-worked tries to turn the game around and build a 28-15 lead.  At this point, the intensity dropped and Lindisfarne replied with two late scores to reduce the deficit. 

Final score: Lindisfarne 1st XV 25 PNBHS 1st XV 28 

Scorers: 

Tries: Leo Gordon, Anitoni Metui, Kees Jahnke, Kylem Vunipola 

Conversions: Maraki Aumua (4)
