29 May 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 13 Restricted v Pukekohe

Full time score Ardmore Marist 44 – 7 Pukekohe. Half time was 10 – 7 .

Our players of the day this week were Brandon Mahutoto, & Jake Pallister

Most Improved Micah Thompson.

A bit of a slow start, however once the boys got the wind behind them in the second half they started to increase their work rate. A couple of early tries boosted their confidence and it was nice to see them go on and shut Pukekohe out of the game.

Towards the end some individual brilliance and also some excellent team work lead to some enjoyable tries being scored.

19 June 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 11 Open v Papakura

17-36 Loss

This week we fronted up to Papakura on their home turf but we brought the wrong game face. This result was a big turn around from when we 1st meet on our home ground 47 – 5 win to us.

During the game the boys didn’t look like a team and this showed as Papakura were definitely hungrier for the ball. We had players getting themselves isolated and some not tackling whole heartily – grabbing shirts instead of wrapping up players. Papakura rattled us big time leaving big gaps for them to run thru and score. This weeks training is going to be hard as we lift ourselves back up to the team standard which we have come accustomed too.

Match Report

Our toughest game by far! The other team attacked early and caught us off guard. We arrived at Weymouth number one field with numbers a little light, to be greeted by an under 10 side who doubled our squad and looked like they had been up since dawn. Our coach was unperturbed and went about his business in the usual fashion.

Weymouth kicked off and scored two tries pretty quickly in the first half. Ardmore Marist Green was unlucky with some refereeing about high tackles that left much to be desired. Jordan Sourivayong and Jack Wilson tackling low and hard kept the pressure on and Sonny Te Hira shot through and scored for us through some impressive defending by Marist Green. Junior Mailata and Zion Lotuleilei made some fantastic advantage by running up and down the paddock most of the first half and Ryan Penn made a very powerful contribution, out of position as instructed by the coach, good on you Ryan!!

Charlie Hastings who was central to most of the battles during the game was unlucky not to score more and was charged down but kept the pressure on and showed great resilience.

Coach’s comment at half time: Keep Heads up, and pass the ball. Run straight!!

After the half time talk from coach and some juicy oranges for energy, the boys came out firing with determination in their belly’s they wanted that win. They applied the pressure and Toby Seabrook saw an opening and dived through scoring a try. This streak continued and with a goose step or two our intrepid Darrel Po-Ching slid over the try line. What an impressive work rate boys, you had to step up and it paid off. Joel James was dynamic in the second half particularly and scored a lovely try right under the posts to consolidate this solid team effort. Zavier Olsen, our player of the day was there in amongst it at all times showing great vision passing always to keep the ball in play and get it out to his teammates to allow them to put points on the board. Great game boy’s, well done.

Player of the day was Nathan

24 July 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 9 White v Pukekohe Green

The Under 9 Restricted Whites lost to Pukekohe Green by 30-20 on Saturday. The team looked a bit rusty after the holidays and was beaten by a skilled and well drilled opposition. There were some pretty good performances with Paroa taking some amazing high ball catches, Fergus a try saving tackle, Patrick scoring two try’s and Malachi making his usual nuisance of himself. This week the team will focus on work around rucks and mauls as well as the continued need to tackle.

5 June 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 8 Blue v Manurewa White

Unfortunately Under 8 Blue lost this week to Manurewa White, 15 tries to 22

Our boys played really well, the score doesn’t do justice to a great team effort.

Unfortunately our tackling let us down this week, 2 main players from Manurewa scored about 20 of their 22 tries.

Player of the day went to Aiden Muraahi with an awesome 7 try effort!

Merit award went to Domynic Morgan who tackled his heart out this week and is improving with every game.

24 July 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 8 Green v Ardmore Marist White

Lost 10-20

A very tough game and a few no shows for us so we were a bit short. I hope all the boys turn up on time next week and come to training this Wednesday.

The White team had heaps of subs and used them well as fresh legs we just couldnt hack the pace and had all had a little too good time off in the holidays and we were all still on holiday.

The good thing was that Joseph and Gareth had the big games and scored a couple of timely tries to make the losing score respectable.

A pretty average game from the green machine and Semi has told us it will be a big tackle training session this week.

Five games to go, time to turn up the "Heat".

Final score was 20-10 to the White team. WE LOST.

Player Of the Day: Gareth-Tai Komene

Merit: Joseph Higgins

24 April 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 7 Blue v Karaka Red

Karaka 14 tries (70), Ardmore 12 tries (60).

Pretty good all round for a team that have 4 out of 7 that have never played a real game - and 2 players not available. No subs - the poor fellas were knackered but never gave up. Fantastic passing - blew me away. Karaka have great defence and forced two turnovers - hence the 2 point difference.

Small Blacks PoD medal - Dylan Massey

Small Blacks PoD certificate - William Little.

24 July 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 7 Red v Karaka White

Another great performance by the Under 7 Red Champions with a win over Karaka White 90-60!

Gabriel Marshall lead the team onto the field and had a great game as captain picking up the Player of the Day award in the process. Gabriel's passing and leadership on the field was a great example to the other boys.

It was our defence which won the game for us and we saw some fantastic ripping by Mitchell Court and Levi Ratima. William Crawford played extremely well with some blinding runs, passing and great defence also.

Todd Scholten scored a great try under the posts after flying down the sideline and then cutting back inside through the opposition to score. Edward Elworthy-Jones played a fantastic game with his pace and determination getting him a couple of tries and he was everywhere in defence.

Joejoe Seabrook lead the way with passing and some great defence. The highligh of Joejoe's game was his dive to rip a Karaka player just before the Karaka player crossed the line - saving the try and giving us the advantage.

Sam Cooper picked up the Merit Award due to his straight running, consistent passing and solid defence. With Sam's Dad, Paul, controlling the game Sam had to play by the rules and had a great game with Paul managing to keep up with the blinding pace.

With Ethan Scharvi (cut leg) and Daniel Magee (broken arm) out we were down on numbers, by the team rose to the occasion and we look forward to seeing Ethan and Daniel back.

24 July 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 7 White v Karaka Black

Ardmore Marist White 60 Karaka Black 90

Perhaps Ardmore Marist were a little rusty on Saturday with our adventurous play leading to turnovers as opposed to trys - however it was a strong second half. Player of the day was Hatape for some great linking up. Merit award went to Caleb J for a busy game after being out of action for a while.

Players of the day were Ethan Waterman-Kira for some great tries, and Christian Vili for awesome defence.

1 May 2010 Ardmore Marist Under 6 Red (The Red Dragons) v Karaka Red

The Red Dragons are starting to hit their straps in only their second game by ensuring that they are having plenty of fun even when it rains.

It was great to see the boys starting to come to grips (literally) with the defence (Rips) with many of the big improver's being Ben Avis, Reece Latu and Quinlan Te Tamaki who got some quality rips themselves.

The captain for the day was Breyton (aka Jonah Lomu) Taare who had a huge game both on attack (with 3 tries) and also on defence leading the way with several good rips.

Adam (aka Goose Step) Robson also knows his way to the tryline with 3 tries and was also in support of the ball carrier all day.

Player of the day went to Jake Porter who made some great rips and also scored a great try in the corner.

The Merit Award went to Ben Reay for some great defence for such a wee fella (he maybe one of the littlest in the team but has a big heart). Ben also showed that he may have a bit of Rokoroko in him as he made a couple of good runs down the line which lead to other team mates scoring their tries.

The other tries were scored by the Orlando (aka bom) Casey who is always on hand for a pass, Corban (aka I'm Daniel Carter) Glendinning who made a run from half way that cut the defence in half on the way to scoring one of his trys.

The Red Dragons smallest team member Solf (aka take no prisoners) Parker had a good day with a few good runs and also getting his first rip of the season.

Thanks to Solf Parker Senior and Jo Casey for leading a hand to the team on the day.

Final score 50-50 to Ardmore Marist/Karaka.

Player of the Day: Jake Porter

Merit Award: Ben Reay
