Otago Boys' were too strong across most of the sporting codes in the annual exchange played in perfect winter conditions in Timaru on 4 August.
For Timaru the highlights were in Hockey and Football.
The 1st XI Hockey side dominated possession for most of the match in easing to a 2-0 win. Liam Andrews and Kai Reid were the goal scorers for the home side. The Colts Hockey side fought out a tight 1-1 draw in their encounter. Logan Peck scored a 4th quarter equaliser for TBHS.
The 1st XI Footballers continued their good form with a two all draw against their traditionally strong opponents. Alex Power who was one of Timaru’s stand-outs on the day scored, along with Logan Kerslake. The Junior Football saw TBHS start well and lead early via a cracking goal by Oliver Linton. Otago worked their way into the game to eventually take the honours 2-1 in a tight contest.
The 1st XV Rugby match saw a big, powerful Otago side with some outstanding individuals record a comprehensive 50-17 win. While outgunned aspects of Timaru’s defence and decision making which contributed to a high error rate were disappointing. The Colts side was also dominated as Otago eased to a 44-0 victory.
Both Basketball fixtures went the way of OBHS: 89-55 in the Senior game and 94-66 in the Junior. To their credit, TBHS competed throughout both games against big, well drilled opposition.
The
remainder of the events were won by Otago, with the Trap Shooting going their
way 418-393, the Chess 24-8 and the Badminton 6-0.
