Melville Intermediate - Rippa Rugby Hamilton Final 2012

On Wednesday 2nd May 2012 Waikato Rugby held their annual 'Rippa Rugby' Tournament for Schools in the Hamilton area.  Each School was allowed to field two teams in competition and after a full day of games only two teams remained - Melville Intermediate 'A' team - who played Melville Intermediate 'B' team in the final! It was a situation created by Melville Intermediate's two teams suffering only a solitary defeat the entire day.  As the top two teams advance towards the Waikato wide finals coming up in a couple of weeks, so the game was something of a friendly encounter but you wouldn't know it by how close the action was! Melville 'A' were only slight too good for Melville 'B' winning 3-2.  Filmed by Veronica from Room Five, at Swarbrick Park, Hamilton.

Melville Intermediate - Rippa Rugby Vs. Fairfield

On Tuesday 2nd May Melville Intermediate 'B' Rippa Rugby team faced Fairfield Intermediate 'A' in the final game for both teams in pool play of the competition.  Melville Intermediate 'B' had bounced back from losing to Crawshaw earlier in the day but were also hoping to win this game to avoid playing Melville Intermediate 'A' in the Semi-Finals! A nail biting game, with high lights here filmed by Veronica from Room Five.  Filmed at Swarbrick Park, Hamilton as part of the Hamilton Schools Rippa Rugby Field Day run by Waikato Rugby.
