John McGlashan College took overall honours by 8 wins to 4 with two drawn fixtures in the annual exchange played in balmy conditions in Dunedin on Tuesday 11 August.
A number of very tight contests were the feature of the day.
For TBHS, as has been the case throughout the winter, Hockey and Football led the way.
The 1st XI Football side had a dominant 4-1 win playing fast, flowing football in perfect conditions at Logan Park. Alex Power and Taylor Donaldson controlled the middle of the park and their excellent service saw Reece Burtenshaw reap the rewards with a fine hat-trick of goals. The Junior Football side were disappointing after some recent strong performances going down 5-0.
Draws were the order of the day in two of the three Hockey matches with both the 1st XI (0-0) and Colts (1-1) matches ending in a stalemate. The 2nd XI Hockey match was also tied 0-0 at half-time before a Hamish Taylor double and a goal to Hayden Kennedy saw them ease out to a 3-0 win.
Both Basketball matches also ebbed and flowed throughout the game. The Senior team led by Jack Crossan staged a late comeback before going down 98-95, while the Junior team edged their Dunedin counterparts 86-84 in another high scoring encounter.
Timaru’s other win came in the Trapshooting out at Brighton Gun Club by 370-362. The team members were Noah Carnegie, Thomas Fulton, Digby Giles, Jack Innes, Josh Mills and Harry Smith.
