So Ories were promoted as winners and home finalists as they are higher ranked than OBU Green.<\/p>\n<p>OBU arrive at the Division 1 final having stormed through the field after finishing seventh at the conclusion of the first round, to knockout both of last year\u2019s finalists, Petone and Hutt Old Boys Marist. They beat Petone 46-19 and then defeated first round champions HOBM 12-8 in last Saturday\u2019s semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>OBU are no strangers to this end of the season in this grade. But can they up-stage Ories who are riding high as a club at the moment?<\/p>\n<p>OBU captain Nathanial Barry said his team is happy with their late season form:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur semi-final against HOBM went well. We knew it was going to be tough coming up against a team that hadn\u2019t lost all season, however the performance against Petone the week prior gave us confidence. Looking at the conditions on the day, being extremely windy and cold, the score could have gone either way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were fortunate to have some awesome impact off the bench, and tireless defence to hold the game out once we got the lead. This coming week we know we will have to turn up and be ready for a physical game against Ories, and by staying connected and keeping our communications up throughout, our chances of taking the win will be in our favour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barry said that his side expects a surge in support in the final. \u201cOur supporters have had a huge part to play this season. It\u2019s certainly noticeable the lift we get on the field when we have our loyal OBU supporters on the sideline. I know for a fact there are plenty of family and friends making the journey to Miramar this Saturday from all over the country to support, and looking forward to the extra energy and drive it will give out team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sadness has recently descended over the Wellington and OBU club rugby community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis weekend we will be playing for our club Old Boys University, playing for our coaches, managers, supporters and all those involved in the club. But most importantly we will be playing for Thomas Murray, a member of the OBU scallywags U85s side who passed away last week. We will also be playing for those that were close to him, wearing a black arm band in remembrance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When they met earlier this season, OBU beat Ories 40-34, \u00a0and a similar run of play is expected on Saturday between two positive sides.<\/p>\n<p>The John E Kelly Cup is named after a former leading administrator of the Wellington Axemen club and was first played for in 1986 with University (one half of the now OBU) the inaugural winners. Since 2010, OBU has won this title eight out of 13 times. Ories have won it once, in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>In the Division 2 final, Poneke travel to play the Rams hoping to stamp out memories of their previous meeting this season when the Rams beat Poneke 86-10 at Kilbirnie Park. On that day, Poneke lost a couple of players early through injury and the Rams seized control early and didn\u2019t let up.<\/p>\n<p>Poneke are captained by Jack Rees-Thompson with Tristan-Perry Monanu the vice-captain. David Taoipu is the top try scorer for the side with six tries and Stirling Maxwell has scored 45 points.<\/p>\n<p>The Rams are a home grown side for the most part, with two thirds of their squad hailing from either Upper Hutt or Heretanga Colleges of St Pat\u2019s Silverstream. Poneke are similar, but also have several players from around New Zealand. Both teams have an international flavour, with players from Scotland, South Africa, France, England, USA and Samoa in their squads.<\/p>\n<p>The Vic Calcinai Cup is named after the player who was the captain-coach of the combined Poneke-Oriental Jubilee Cup team during the second world war and later Poneke coach and WRFU President in 1968. It was first contested in 1986. The Rams last won in 2019 and Poneke in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>U85kg<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two local <strong>National Knockout Cup U85kg<\/strong> matches tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Hutt Old Boys Marist<\/strong> Howlers and <strong>New Plymouth Old Boys<\/strong> meet at the Hutt Rec 3 at 1.00pm in the last remaining second round game of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Tawa<\/strong> Ducks and NPOB\u2019s cross-town Taranaki rivals <strong>Tukapa<\/strong> visit Lyndhurst Park for their round three match, kick-off at 1.00pm.<\/p>\n<p>HOBM are on their local competition bye, while the Paul Potiki Shield match between Tawa and Stokes Valley is to be played at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves <del>two<\/del> one fourth round Paul Potiki Shield match to be played tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><del>The OBU Scallywags take on Paremata-Plimmerton at Nairnville Park at 2.45pm<\/del>\u00a0 &#8211; OBU v Paremata-Plimmerton has been &#8216;cancelled&#8217;.\u00a0 Petone and Poneke meet on the Petone Rec 1 at 2.45pm.<\/p>\n<p>In Division 2, Eastbourne and MSP meet beside the sea at 2.45pm and Wellington and Johnsonville are in action at Hataitai Park at 1.00pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Reserve Grade<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are into knockout rounds in the <strong>Reserve Grade<\/strong> competition.<\/p>\n<p>In the top tier <strong>John Davies Cup<\/strong>, the top two teams from the first round, the Upper Hutt Rams J8s and the Poneke Ruffnuts have this weekend off.<\/p>\n<p>There are two top tier preliminary fixtures, with the MSP Internationals hosting the Upper Hutt Rams Thirsties at Kilbirnie Park 3 and the Johnsonville Cripples playing the Upper Hutt Rams Pirates at Helston Park.
