FOOTBALL by John Gillies GISBORNE United moved to the top of football’s Pacific Premiership with a 5-0 win against Napier Marist Seconds at on Saturday. They overtook previous leaders Maycenvale, who were beaten 1-0 by Napier City Rovers Seconds at Park Island, Napier, on the same day. A hat-trick by Josh Adams was the scoring highlight of Heavy Equipment Services Gisborne United’s victory. The feat was all the more noteworthy for the fact that two of the goals came from Adams’s right foot. Nearly all of the United striker’s busload of goals in the premiership have been struck with his accurate and powerful left foot. On Saturday, he showed that “clinical” was the adjective to describe the use of his right. Adams’s hat-trick took him two goals clear — with 11 — in the race for the golden boot award for top scorer in the premiership. It almost didn’t seem fair that United should have such a comfortable margin against a spirited Marist side who played plenty of good football. They were in with a chance of a result until the 61st minute, when Adams put United 3-0 up. Marist never gave up, but United would have had to implode to come away with less than three points from there.

RUGBY by Ben O’Brien-Leaf A MAJOR motion picture could be made of it. Ngati Porou East Coast beat Civil Project Solutions Poverty Bay 28-21 to ice the sky-blue-and-white centenary cake by breaking their five-year duck against their oldest rivals. It was the first victory — home or away — for the Coast under coach Hosea Gear. With it they claimed the PJ Sayers Cup (presented to the East Coast in 1951) for East Coast-Poverty Bay games played on the Coast. It was their first Sayers Cup victory since their 26-8 win at Whakarua Park on June 4, 2016. That win (the most recent NPEC win against a Heartland union) brought smiles to faces. But tears of joy accompanied their latest triumph at Enterprise Cars Whakarua Park. The Coast last savoured the sweet smell of success against Bay of Plenty Maori, 61-14, at Puarenga Park, Rotorua, on August 10, 2019, in their third pre- season game of the year. Gear said: “I couldn’t be happier with the match-effort, dedication and commitment of the team. It was an emotional time for many of them, so for them to be able to do the job — for our people and past players — is amazing. “Our work at set-piece was definitely something that — on recent performances against Poverty Bay — needed to improve, and did. We had a few set-piece strikes that we managed to pull off as well, which was pleasing to see.” Ecstatic NPEC captain and No.8 Hone SPRINT TO THE LINE: Ngati Porou East Coast fullback Nehe Milner-Skudder, pursued by No.8 Morgan Reedy, clears away from Haerewa was “just happy with how the the Poverty Bay defence to score in the Coast’s 28-21 victory at Whakarua Park, Ruatoria, on Saturday.
