Timaru Boys' took out the overall honours, 8 to 5 with 1 draw in this year's Exchange played in superb weather and ground conditions on Wednesday 28 August in Oamaru.
TBHS dominated a perhaps surprisingly one-sided 1st XV encounter 61-20 at Milner Park. Timaru played with enterprise and moved the ball effectively into space in racing out to a 42-10 advantage by half-time.
In the second half, an improved Waitaki defensive effort and Timaru emptying their bench saw a more even contest. For Timaru, openside George Brown, number eight Sio Latu and lock James Davidson were particularly prominent in a pack that generated quick go forward ball. This saw the Timaru backs cut loose, with Liam Parker using his pace and anticipation to score four tries. Jimmy Robertson at half-back and Jacob Mckinley at second-five both also made the most of the opportunities on attack. This was a pleasing finish to what has been at times a tough year for a young side.
The 2nd XV also enjoyed the opportunity to play fifteen man rugby in a strong 55-12 victory.
The Colts side cruised to a 55-19 win and will be looking forward to their tournament next week in Christchurch after a strong season.
The Under 14 side completed a clean sweep of rugby results with a 36-19 win.
Timaru dominated both Football games with the 1st XI recording a comprehensive 6-1 victory controlling the middle of the field and distributing the ball well to create numerous opportunities. Taylor Donaldson led the way for his side with four goals.
The Junior game was won 5-1 by a TBHS side playing attractive one touch football with Corbin Meyer bagging a double for Timaru.
The 2nd XI Hockey side dominated their match to record an 8-0 victory. The Mason boys Baxter and Cooper led the goal scoring with 3 and 2 goals respectively. The 2nd XI return to Oamaru next week for the Galletley Shield tournament.
Waitaki Boys' produced strong performances to take out both the Senior (87-45) and Junior (88-67) Basketball games. Waitaki were also victors in both the Trap (279-276) and Smallbore Shooting(928-827) .
Badminton saw another Waitaki victory 5-1, while Timaru took out an, at times, fiery Squash encounter 2-1.
The Chess resulted in the day's only draw - 8 all.
