Rugby: Representative rugby came to Pōrangahau for the first time in many years on Saturday August 12, with the Central Hawke’s Bay (CHB) sub-union side beating Te Matau a Maui Hawke’s Bay Māori 28-26.
CHB scored four tries to Ethan Taylor, Matty Winn, Tim Sciascia and Jeri Kavekai. It was 12-7 to Te Matau Maui Hawke’s Bay Māori at halftime, and they led 26-14 with eight minutes to go. CHB then scored two tries, and despite the mud and heavy ground, fullback Hunter Yarrall converted all four tries, including the last to win the game, from near the sideline. CHB sub-union is doing some great things for grassroots rugby at the moment.
