Score Stalled in 2nd Half:

GBHS's U85 Boys' rugby team has had an incredible season, standing their ground in the finals against Auckland Grammar!

Proud coach Aaron Harris has nothing but praise for the boys whose commitment and dedication, both on and off the field, shone through.

With the half-time score sitting at 10-3 to Grammar, our boys gave it their all to ensure Grammar did not break GBHS's defence.

Tom Hansen's try, and a penalty kick by Liam Chisholm brought the game within a 2-point margin, leaving players and supporters (from both sides) in nervous anticipation - with the possibility of GBHS storming ahead.

Both teams dug in but were unable to score again, and the final whistle went at 10-8, leaving AGS the winners of the 2024 U85 championship.

Well done to both teams, for an exceptional game.

Special mention to Year 13 students Vincent Brodie, Max Marvin, Ollie Callagher, Jahkoby Mataupu, Ryan Eade, Harry Milner, and Lucas Harvey who have helped to create a culture of school pride, sportsmanship, and leadership - throughout their participation in secondary school sports.

It's great to see GBHS moving up the rugby ranks and leaving a lasting impression!
