Roller Mills

Squad list, fixtures & results for the 2006 Roller Mills team.

Roller Mills team finish 3rd in annual tournament

Our Roller Mills team had outstanding results at their tournament in Tauranga in 2006. They finished pool play on top unbeaten and had their only loss of the tournament against West Auckland in the cross over semi finals. They then went on to beat Bay of Plenty 10 - 7 in the playoff for 3rd & 4th. They also retained the Vancouver Cup they won against Auckland East in the first game of the tournament. As a matter of interest Auckland East won the final against Auckland West. Congratulations to Coaches Stew Ashworth & John Turner and Manager John Trautvetter.

Sept 24th v Auckland East, Tauranga Domain

North Harbour 17, Auckland East 10

Point Scorers: T Plunkett 2 Tries, J Jacobs 2 Con, 1 Pen

Game Highlights

This game was our Ranfurly Shield Challenge, Auckland East for the Vancouver Cup. The boys made use of limited opportunity in the first half but what possession they got they converted into points. Tenacious defence was the highlight of the 1st half, with more possession in the 2nd half and with the wind at their back the boys gained parity by scoring their only points in this half our boys gained an outstanding win and ARE NOW HOLDERS OF THE VANCOUVER CUP.

 

 

In 1924, the Northern Roller Milling Company presented a shield for competition between primary school teams from any rugby union within the Auckland Province. The next year, teams from other provinces were invited to compete for the shield in what became known as the NRM Roller Mills Tournament.

 

It has been played every year since and has grown to include teams from Northland, North Harbour, Auckland (East & West), Counties Manakau, Waikato (Rovers & Rangers), King Country, Thames Valley and Bay of Plenty and is regarded by many as the ‘Ranfurly Shield’ of primary school rugby.

Played in first week of the Term 3 school holidays, the tournament is run on a format of pool play between 2 pools of 5 teams, followed by semi final and finals. 

 

North Harbour has participated in the Roller Mills Tournament since the start of the Union in 1985. We won the tournament in 1993 and hosted it in 2004.

 

To be eligible for selection players must be attending primary or intermediate school within the North Harbour Rugby Union boundaries and be under 13 years old on the 1st of January in the year of the tournament and they must weigh less than 55kg at the time of the tournament.
