A MORNING AT THE FOOTY: Saturday mornings at Watson Park are once again abuzz with the sound of boot on ball, whistles and cheers as hundreds of kids converge on the beachside arena for primary school football. Left, Te Wharau’s Grace O’Connor is chased by Manutuke’s Micah Tapsell. Above, Taiao Counsell, with Keiara-Jean Hotu in support, about to take on Jaxon Pardoe. Above, right, St Mary’s School’s Billy Frain controls the ball under pressure from Central’s Kobe Donnelly.

JUST LIKE RONALDO: Above, Central’s Dylan Ng is challenged by St Mary’s Cole Alexander. Left, Johnny Batarrita- Clarke tries to slip by Phoenix Clarke.

CLEARING HIS LINES: Sonrise Christian School’s Joshua Levy, above, heads the ball out of the danger zone from a corner kick in his team’s match against Mangapapa. Left, eyes on the ball from Leeroy Julies-Tuhi brings the ball under control as his path is blocked by Jasper Sutherland.

RACE TO THE BALL: Right, Kaiti’s Brooklyn Boyd (left) and Wainui Beach’s Harry Gardiner vie for the ball.

ROUND THE OUTSIDE: Left, Wainui Beach player Harry McFarlane pushes the ball past Kaiti’s Shaila-Rose Kohinga-Atkins, Right, Kaiti’s Matairua Maraki looks to clear the ball before Taika Cleland-Pottie gets to it as Sol Bevins takes a spill. 22 SATURDAY SPORT The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, August 4, 2020 OPENING TRY: Left, Ngatapa’s Mike Livingston can only watch as High School Old Boys utility back- cum-flanker Sam Middleton scores his side’s first try in a Poverty Bay premier club rugby game at Patutahi. HSOB went on to win 25-22 to consolidate fourth place on the points table led by Waikohu. Middleton did extremely well in his first game in the forward pack while winger Will Hocquard (right) also impressed, including scoring a fine individual try.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS: YMP’s Niko Lauiti has plenty of back-up as he is tackled by an OBM player in a Poverty Bay premier club rugby clash at the Oval. YMP, sitting second on the table, ran in five tries in a 31-17 win over a spirited opposition.

UP AND OVER: Gisborne United’s Campbell Hall sends the SHE’S BEHIND ball over the top of a Napier Marist Reserves player in a Pacific ME. ISN’T Premiership football game at Harry Barker Reserve. The visitors SHE?: Left, High proved tough to break down but United came out on top 1-0, School Old Girls courtesy of a successful penalty attempt by skipper Kieran goal attack Lisa Venema. Basford’s option for assistance from teammate Katie Kirkpatrick is thwarted by YMP’s Bronya McMenamin during a premier grade netball game at the Victoria Domain courts. YMP recorded a convincing 31-19 win. Right, the outstretched arms of HSOG wing defence Saffron Epairama forces YMP midcourter Sydney Rore to search across court.

CLASH OF THE COLOURS: It’s no wonder Derek Watson (in the background above) wears sunglasses when playing for the brightly-coloured LOB NZ Fruits team in Poverty Bay men’s hockey. The men in orange came up against the boys in red — Gisborne Boys’ High — and the students came out on top, 5-4, for their first win of the season. LOB’s Matthew Pepere and Boys’ High’s Jack Fletcher go one-on-one in this shot while, below, Gisborne Boys’ High’s William Matthews reaches around in an attempt to rob David Levy of the ball.

STUDENTS THE TEACHERS: Gisborne Girls’ High proved too strong for GMC Gold in their Poverty Bay women’s club hockey game. The students won 6-0. Above, Emily Horne keeps the ball away from the reach of Tania Foster. Right, Jessie Kapene (Girls’ high) and Riley Ingoe go stick to stick.
