Sports Newsletter - Term 2: Week 10
Hockey
The First XI play HIBS at Maidstone this afternoon, 4.30pm KO. This follows a
first hit out against Gladstone Bulls, chock full of Rathkeale Old Boys’ last
week. Rathkeale ran out 4-3 winners in a fantastic match full of passion and
skill.
This game provided First XI debuts for James Crawley, Flynn Register, Liam
Quirke and Jack Robson; all played well, adjusting to the pace and intensity
required at this level.
Josh McKay (Captain 2012-2013) spoke to the Boys after the match, and
formally handed the Captains armband to our new skipper Gus Borren.
Micky Caldwell started his season well netting a hattrick, while Ralph McLeod
also pinched a goal.

Rugby
First XV
On Saturday, the First XV squad was split into two teams to play a trial game.
It was good to see the young and upcoming boys display their skills alongside
the more experienced players. Fitness and the quality of the rugby was
awesome, particularly for the first game.
It was great to see the boys playing after such a long period. The squad will
be narrowed down for the Palmerston North Boys’ High game on Saturday. It
was great to see everybody out from the Rathkeale community supporting
the boys and enjoying the post-match BBQ! See you out there!

First XI
The First XI played a preseason game away at HIBS on Saturday. Although
losing the game 3-1 Mr Lindsay was very happy with the performance. Young
year 10 Liam Gale made his starting debut and impressed from the start
never shying away from a challenge and showing great composure on the
ball. Wills Vincent and Alexander Hill also made their debuts while Jonty
Roubos demonstrated his prowess in front of goal, netting twice.
Development
The Development side played some good football at times, however
struggled to complete with the sheer physicality of WaiCol. Ben Lake made
several good saves, Charlie Mathews had some strong runs and was
unfortunate not to score. Sam Jonas enjoyed a good debut while Samson
Jensen Middleton impressed both in defence and midfield. There were
plenty of positives to build on moving forward.
Rathkeale Junior Derby
The Rathkeale Junior derby kicked off our football season. Both teams
played well in a goal studied match which saw Rathkeale Junior White
emerged victorious 6-4. Michael Chapman’s work rate was impressive for the
Whites and the goal of the game came curtesy of Freddy Cohr; a fabulous
header from a pinpoint Sam Leask cross.
Badminton
The first round of competitive badminton took place on Wednesday 3rd June.
The boys split themselves into pairs and a round robin event took place.
There were 6 teams, and each played 4 games of 10-minute duration. The
final saw the two unbeaten teams – Henry Lo and Ben Liu, Sam Leask, and
Harvey Masters – battle out for the honours, with Henry and Ben winning a
match worthy of a final 20-17.

Week two of competition saw twelve players grace the courts, some new
players and many regulars.
The boys played doubles matches again this week with a full 5 match round
robin competition being completed.
There were some very close matches (and some one-sided ones!) with one
team going through unbeaten.
1st: Gavin Tse/Pound Leelapatchara (5 wins)
2nd: Puwit Sila/Ben Liu (4 wins)
3rd: Thomas Farman/Harvey Masters (3 wins)
Trap Shooting
Sixteen boys headed to the Wairarapa Gun Club for practice last week. It was
wonderful to see them in action, particularly the exceptional leadership skills
shown by Henry Borthwick. Great to see our numbers growing in this sport.
The boys had good start to the competitive season with some new shooters
stepping up for their first time behind the trap house.
Congratulations to Eddie Harris won the points score and Henry Borthwick
who was third in the single rise.
Practice continues Wednesday 17th and 24th with a trip to Patangata on
Sunday 28th for the second round of competition.
Tim Parker, Jack Buckley, Angus Jaspers, Archie Clarke and Liam Hughes take a breather.

Hillary top the Football competition with a significant lead; however, the
other events are all extremely tight:
Hillary are only 1 point in front of Blake in the Touch Competition; Halberg
and Hillary are tied in Volleyball; Halberg lead in the Basketball, 3 points
ahead of Blake and Halberg also lead the Ki-o-rahi, ahead of Hillary by 3
points!
When you remember that 3 points are awarded for a win … a potential 6
point swing – you can see just how close the competition really is!
As the saying goes … there is everything to play for… and every point counts!
Interestingly after three weeks of competition, Blake have won 10 events,
with 4 overall wins; Halberg have the least number of event wins with 9, but
the most overall wins – 7! Hillary are the most consistent House with 13
event wins and 6 overall wins.
Michael Buick on the ball Ki-o-rahi is proving a real favourite!
