POWER PLAY: YMP forwards Nehe Papuni (with the ball) RUGBY by Jack Malcolm and Shayde Skudder (at his hip) drive through as Sam AND with that, two remained in the McDell (left) prepares to hold the Ngatapa line. YMP won race for the premier club rugby title. the match 24-15 to reach the Lee Brothers Shield final Picture by Paul Rickard The Civil Project Solutions Lee against Waikohu. Brothers Shield’s first finalist was decided when East Coast Farm Vets YMP defeated Larsawn Ngatapa 24-15 in a bruising affair at Rugby Park. In a game that echoed last weekend’s thriller, both teams showed up to play, but in a late change of momentum YMP scored two tries in the final 10 minutes. The game started with Ngatapa’s Anthony Karauria scoring from second five-eighth in the opening minutes. The try was set up by a strong rolling maul that took them to within five metres of the line. A step inside and offload in the tackle from first five-eighth Ricardo Patricio gave Karauria the hole he needed to bust through and score next to the posts. YMP answered with a try between the posts to second-five Louis Devery. They had built up pressure, and a dummy runner that forced Ngatapa’s defence to rush up and splinter meant Devery had an easy path to score. YMP scored their second try shortly after, through centre Jayden Milner. Devery found the outside shoulder and brushed off one defender and offloaded as he fell in the tackle, dragged down by two Ngatapa players. Devery’s work meant Milner only had to catch the ball to score in the corner. In an odd turn of events, Ngatapa prop Campbell Chrisp and YMP flanker Shyann Wyllie were yellow-carded at the same time, but for different offences, and sat next to each other in the naughty chairs. Wyllie had no mouthguard in and got his marching orders while Chrisp was shown his card for lazy running that led to his committing a professional offside foul. The second 20 minutes of the first half were an arm-wrestle for possession and territory, with the only scoring play a Ngatapa penalty kicked by Patricio. THEN THERE WERE The teams went into halftime with YMP leading 12-10. The spirit and passion could be heard from the sidelines as the coaches called fore every ounce of passion and willpower the players had left. Both teams played to their strengths throughout, and it would be a test of who could impose their will on the other. Ngatapa’s scrum was strong, and saved them many times in their red zone, while YMP’s skill in broken play was dangerous and exciting. YMP coach Brian Leach said his team had to dig deep for the second week in a row to get the win. “In the first 20 minutes of the second half, Ngatapa came back at us. It takes a big heart and a big effort to come back from that.” The green-and-whites started the second half with vigour and spent long periods attacking in the YMP half, but they could muster only five points for TWO their efforts. Patricio scored his team’s final try off the bench as reserve first-five once He chased down his kick and used his In the final minutes of the match, of the season in what was a full team again. strength to wrestle to ground and score, Ngatapa scrapped to keep the game effort.
