Ardmore Marist Presidents vs. Pakuranga Presidents.
Our Ardmore Marist Presidents dusted off their boots (and a few creaky joints) for a glorious Friday afternoon clash against the Pakuranga United Rugby Club Presidents. As always, when we meet, it’s less of a rugby match and more of a nostalgic trip back to our glory days. Only slightly slower and with more groaning.
The game was a beautiful display of vintage rugby. Equal parts physical, technical, and medically questionable. Both sides threw themselves into the fray with the reckless enthusiasm of men who’ve long forgotten what their physios told them.
Big hits, questionable tackles, and the kind of banter that would make our neighbour blush.
It was everything the Presidents Grade stands for.
Tradition, Culture, and the stubborn refusal to admit we’re not
25 anymore.
Huge thanks to the Ranga Presidents for another epic showdown. Till next time.
Cheers to the bruises, the laughs, and the shared delusion that we’ll wake up the next day feeling fine.
