New Plymouth Boys’ High School and Howick College win U15s Condor 7s

The second U15 Boys and Girls Condor 7s tournament was staged at Kelston Boys’ High School today and new winners were crowned; New Plymouth Boys’ High School in the boys section and Howick College from Auckland in the girls section.

In the girls’ final, Howick College defeated Otahuhu College 19-5.

Otahuhu started strongly when their No. 8 Ataliana Taufa busted a tackle and sprinted 30 metres to find the whitewash. 

Howick exerted defensive pressure on Otahuhu, forcing them into mistakes, and Howick’s Iva Livani - who was the Player of the Tournament – scored two tries and also made a telling tackle in the final. The final try that sealed the win was scored by Teuila Sotutu. 

The two girls semi-finals saw Otahuhu beat Tauranga and Howick pip Southern Cross Campus. 

In the boys’ final, New Plymouth’s superior ability at the breakdown was the reason for their 29-5 win over Wesley College.

Wesley started on attack and probed the line hard. But New Plymouth weathered the storm and came back to score the first try.  From there they ran in four more consecutive tries, including two after a Wesley yellow card just before halftime. 


Jamahl Hapi Orangi scored a hat-trick in the final, while his teammate Zane Firth was the boys' Player of the Tournament.


New Plymouth had come back from 0-12 down to beat Kelston Boys’ High School 24-12 in their semi-final, Firth scoring two tries. Wesley beat King’s College in their semi-final, with Robert Luatua bagging a brace of tries.
