The 1st XI struggled to hold their feet at times on the slippery turf but also to adapt to the speed and bounce of the ball. An early goal from Reuben Andrews helped St Paul's gain some momentum . However a defensive lapse from the backs saw Tauranga Boy's collect an easy goal. The half time score 1-1.
.
In the second half the 1st XI continued to dominate possession but failed to take up any of their opportunities. Tauranga Boys College took their small amount of opportunities and scored two goals.
A disappointing result and hopefully the boys will learn from this experience.
