Defending champions Marist St Pat\u2019s, who finished third today, couldn\u2019t bring it to the venue and instead it was the Women\u2019s club rugby Challenge trophy that was raised high into the blue sky afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Both finals saw the winning team take control after halftime after scores had been close at the turnarounds. It was tit-for-tat early in the women\u2019s final as both teams scored twice to make it 14-14. Petone scored early in the second spell and ran clear.<\/p>\n<p>Both Women\u2019s finalists featured youthful squads, with Wainuiomata fielding three current Sacred Heart College schoolgirls and Billie Va\u2019a from St Mary\u2019s College. The Shannon Nightingale-co-coached Petone also had a St Mary\u2019s presence in its ranks.<\/p>\n<p>Petone had started the day by beating Avalon 17-5, but then had a long break before their second match owing to the pre-tournament late withdrawal through injuries of the Paremata-Plimmerton women\u2019s side and a gap in the draw.<\/p>\n<p>Petone went on beat Poneke 36-10 and then defeated Marist St Pat\u2019s 26-7.<\/p>\n<p>Petone are the seventh different winner in the past eight women\u2019s American Ambassador\u2019s tournaments, with MSP (2017 and 2022) the only double winners since 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s women\u2019s winners MSP were held to a 19-19 draw first up by Poneke, with Phoebe Edwards scoring all three of Poneke&#8217;s tries in that match.<\/p>\n<p>The women\u2019s final doubled as both finalists&#8217; final round-robin match of the day.<\/p>\n<p>In the men\u2019s finale, Paremata-Plimmerton led 14-7 at halftime, before crossing for four unanswered tries in the second half to win convincingly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19939\" style=\"width: 767px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-19939\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2U5A8386lr.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2U5A8386lr.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2U5A8386lr.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2U5A8386lr.jpg?resize=540%2C360&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2U5A8386lr.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/clubrugby.nz\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/2U5A8386lr.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paremata-Plimmerton co-captains Esi Komaisavai and Ethan Webster-Nonu with the spoils.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For the most part, Paremata-Plimmerton were dominant throughout the tournament and went on a try-scoring frenzy in some of their other games.<\/p>\n<p>This included a 57-0 win over Tawa and a 45-7 win over Poneke, as well as a win by default over Wainuiomata\u2019s second side.

Their most convincing performance of the day was their 55-0 win over the Wellington Axemen.<\/p>\n<p>That second Paremata-Plimmerton team also had a fair day out there, beating Old Boys University 19-10 and the Wellington Axemen 41-17. Their only defeat was 12-24 to the top Wainuiomata contender.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from their heavy loss to the winners, Tawa showed flashes of good play in their games. Most of their squad was under 20 and they too featured some school players such as Tawa College&#8217;s Anthony Hunt who scored several tries.<\/p>\n<p>OBU, Avalon, Poneke and the Axemen all had their moments.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s tournament was well-officiated by the WRRA, whose squad included Danny Cameron, Jack Cottrell, Matthew Fawkes, Jake Hird, Ethan Loveridge, Hamish Mexted, Ollie Michie and Mike Nicholls.<\/p>\n<p>There are no more slated 7s tournaments in Wellington this year, with the re-booted Central Region Provincial Sevens scheduled for Palmerston North later this month. This was down for next weekend, but it appears it might now be on 25 November.
