Varsity won their Hankin's Shield quarter final match 15 - 10 against HSOB in the 78th minute on Saturday out at Massey University. A game where no side had a successful kick at goal, was decided 3 tries to 2.

Varsity drove and destroyed the ponderous and frankly unfit HSOB side in the first half. Scoring two tries from mauls. One that went 25 metres!!

Varsity went back into it's shell a little in the 2nd half and HSOB got back into the game though a controversial try. They then levelled with about 15 to play.

A break out by Isaac Thompson was finished off by Louis Booth who went over to score the winning try in the 78th minute.
