2014: Petone wins 20-19

Petone right wing Aleks Noble-Campbell charges down a HOBM clearance and scores what proves to be the match-winning try in 2014. Petone now led 20-14, and held on over a tense final 20 minutes to win 20-19.

2015: HOBM wins 32-25

HOBM regained the McBain Shield, and went on to win the Swindale Shield in 2015.

2016: Petone wins 27-23

The Eagles were down 23-27 and in need of a last-gasp rugby miracle. It came when fullback Anthony Utanga outflanked the Petone defence right on the hooter – here they celebrate their last-gasp victory. Petone had piled on 17 unanswered points to surge ahead 27-20.

2019: HOBM wins 46-26

2021: HOBM wins 35-26

A concerted build-up from a scrum inside the 22 leads to HOBM first five-eighth Brandyn Laursen scoring a key try that helped seal the 2021 McBain Shield.
