Matchday scoring highlights: Tawa (26) v Paremata-Plimmerton (23)

The two sides met in muddy conditions at Ngati Toa Domain in the 13th and final round of the Swindale Shield. Tawa won with a last-play try, after coming back from 23-14 behind in the last several minutes.

Both teams made the ‘top 4’ for the upcoming Jubilee Cup – and this result means that they play again this coming weekend, although this time at Lyndhurst Park. The winner gets a bye the following weekend, whilst the loser gets a second life in the Jubilee Cup at home the following week.

This match was also notable for Paremata-Plimmerton halfback Esi Komaisavai scoring his 18th and 19th tries of the season, to set a new record for most tries in a Swindale Shield and surpassing Northern United’s Buxton Popoalii’s previous record of 18 set in 2010 (although that was in 11 matches).
