The best and worst of behaviour was demonstrated yesterday on the sidelines of school sport.

An otherwise trouble-free match between Auckland Grammar and King's College was marred by claims King's supporters spat on ball boys.

The uncle of one of the ball boys, from Grammar, said the King's fans also chanted, "Your dad works for my dad" and "We are rich, you are poor".

Grammar got the last laugh, winning the match 27-15.

Across Auckland, Jacqui Harema demonstrated the best of sideline behaviour while supporting her daughter Tyme's school netball team.

Harema won a Herald on Sunday Sideline Champs Award, in association with McCafe, for giving oranges to both teams at half-time and, according to netball administrators, "being an awesome supporter".
