Young sides shape up for new season

Rugby players in Tauranga had a perfect autumn day on Saturday to showcase their abilities. At Nicholson Field, an early season match between the Second XVs of Tauranga Boys' College and Hamilton Boys' High School attracted plenty of interest. Up the road at the Tauranga Domain, the Taurenga Sports and Te Puna development sides squared off. Andrew Warner was there to capture the action. <strong><a href='http://bayofplentytimes.iphotostores.co.nz/' target='_blank'>Do want to purchase prints? Click here</a></strong>
