Speaker 1 (00:00):
Twenty eight away from mate, Let's go straight to Club

(00:02):
Rugby Premier men's and women's action continuing and I can
see some sunshine out now, which is great news. Max
Rodgers out of the Wellington Rugby Union is with us, Willie, Max,
how are you? I'm good, mate, And the ground spy
by the sounds of it, will seem to have come
out relatively unscathed from the rain and the wind of
the last couple of days.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Max. Yeah, they've managed to hold up enough to get
some footy in today. So yeah, hopefully they can hold
up my ty and produce some good games.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Today, exactly, all right, looking forward to that. And in
the Swindale Shield we'll start there. Oriental Wrongati now the
only team that is from four after the four rounds
of the competition. Obviously pa Toni handed their first loss
of the season in dramatic circumstances against Upperhut last weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
But we'll talk about those teams as we go through
the draw. Max.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Let's go firstly to Kilbernie Park this afternoon two forty
five ponnickere hosting Johnsonville.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, Pornick defending the nulutap file is shield against Johnsonville
today Colberny Park. Last week Ponnieckey put away Wellington forty
eight points of sixteen, where reserve prop No too file
Nulluvel bagged a hat trick off the bench Johnsonville. They
went down the close game to Winoui and Martha last
week thirty one points twenty four. The two signs won
one game each against each other last year, so this

(01:18):
is said to be a good game today all.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Right, and is over the hill William Jones Park. So
I guess relatively evenly pois teams WinUI and North's.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah one way Master. They're defending the alf Keatingmorial trophy
over the hill against the two and two Norths today.
Different looking results for both sides last week as one
of where Martha got up over Johnsonville to win thirty
one twenty four, while North were hammered by Marrison pat
sixty five points to twenty two. So they'll need to
play well today if there to get up over WinUI.
Why no way Martha, Hurricane Dan Sinknson in the fifteen

(01:49):
jersey today the bolts of their attack.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
All right, Wellington x men have the trip up to
the hot wreck for huddle Boys Maris. They're looking for
their first win the x Men any chance today.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Do you think potentially both sides coming off the back
of heavy losses last week, so they'll both be after
one to get themselves back on track. Huddle Boys Maris.
They went down forty two points seventeen to Putamus Plumpton,
while Wontington went down to neighbors Pornick forty eight points sixteen.
A special mention to harddle Boys Marits player David Filippaul
who runs out in one hundred and fiftieth Premier Match today.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Awesome and upper heart. I know that.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Stoked with their win over Patoni last weekend. They've got
the trip to Avalon down the road today Fraser Park.
But Amenta behind him, you'd say.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Max, yeah, definitely Yeah. Then form Rams making the trip
to Fraser Park take on the winless Avalon side this
game for the Harpervirone Trophy. Last week everyone's taking another
heavy loss. This time it was Theatawa sixty two points
to twenty three. The Rams. They scored a last minute
winner on their old timers. They scored by Josh Love
to beat Patni thirty two points to twenty nine, and

(02:53):
most would expect the Rams to keep their form going today.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Also in form based on last week MSP and Paton,
I think you should be going one to Evans Bade.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, definitely. Today's MSP's old Timers Day. Today they're taking
on Prattorney for the Bill alb Memorial Trophy. Madison Pats.
They hadn't had the best of their first three weeks,
but they turned around last week with a huge sixty
five twenty two went over northwe Hokker Casna Longavi Sully
scored a hat trick, but only they went down in
the final play last week to the Upper Hut Rams,

(03:23):
which was their first loss of the season. So they'll
look to turn around last week's lost until win today
and they welcome the return of TJ. Clark and the
ten jersey today.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Well that's good news. So the Hurricanes as well.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
OBU back home hosting part of matter of Plymoutons.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Been a tough start for the raigning champions.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, definitely. The Old and four Old Boys University host
part of much Plymouthon at Rugby League Park today. Last
week overuseduffered their third to two point loss of the
season and their fourth loss in as many weeks. To
start the season. Partamunch Plymouton on the other hand, with
a big win over and always Dangerous had old Boys
Maris side forty two points to seventeen, where Live Wire
after s e called mysur Vice Squader hat trick his

(04:02):
second in as many weeks. This game should be definitely
a good one today, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
And then out east at the Polo ground wrapping up
the rounds action orients a wrong Attai and Tawa, what
are you expecting here?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
This is set to be a really good one, Adam
Ari's I think Tara the Polo ground, both sides picking
up wins last week, firstly Ari's beating over you in
a close thirty three thirty one when to remain undefeated
at the top of the table Captain then number eight
Dominica or Petty squored a double in that one. Tarla.
They cruise passed Avalon last week to win sixty two
points twenty three where right wingers Elite scored four tries.

(04:37):
Tawa and Ari's welcome Hurricane Squad members to their sides
today for Tawa Hugo Plummer and Ari's have Si Hala Lilo,
so plenty of action, promising this one today.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
You're great, so lots of big names. We always like
that in club rugby.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Let's go to the women's Rebecca Lejuana Trophy and still
Orion's wrong. A tie for Tony and North along with
MSP with the wins to their name, that tops the ladder.
I Ate the moment had four games ahead in a
few hours time. Max eleven thirty run us through the
day's action there he was.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Starting out at Fraser Park. We've got Avalon hosting Pornickee
the game today for both sides who have not had
the best of runs in the last couple of weeks.
Evalon with one win so far in Pornicke without a win,
we'll be hunting their first of the season. The next
game is at Colbernie Parker Number three where Marrison Pats
take on for Tony, two sides who shared the Rebecca

(05:26):
Lejuana Trophy in twenty twenty three playing today for the
Gary Hills the Challenge Cup. But TONI won by default
against Evlon last week and MSP put away one Mark
forty two points to ten, where Grace Aparilla scored a
hat trick. Our next game out at Potior Park is
North taking on Ari's which is a big game today.

(05:46):
Two strong teams always in the comp Ari's underfeed and
the top of the table after they've beat part of
much Plimpton seventy one twelve where Time Money obviously scored
four tries. North also thumping their opponents Pornikey last week
ninety points to nil, where Door Low Paula scored four tries.
And then our last game over the hill William Jones
Park is Wo Mata taking on part of mounts Plumbert

(06:09):
