AND THIS SHOT MAKES FOUR: Gisborne Thistle’s David Ure, above, about to let fly and score his fourth goal in a 7-0 whitewash of Napier Marist Seconds in a Pacific Premiership football game at Childers Road Reserve.

Aerial battle: High School Old Girls shooter Marcia Beale takes the ball cleanly despite intense pressure from Waikohu defenders Stormy Merritt and Humaria Higgins. It was Waikohu’s day, however, as they led from start to finish to win the premier grade netball game 35-27 at Victoria Domain.

THE CHASE IS ON: Waikohu front-rower Toru Noanoa is pursued by High School Old Boys lock Fletcher Scammell in a premier club rugby game at The Oval. Top-of-the-table Waikohu won 48-3.

UP THE GUTS: YMP lock Mekepio Brown, right, is accosted by two Pirates players in premier club rugby action at the Oval. The Magpies turned on classic running rugby as they charged to a 69-20 win.

Turf war: YMP 1’s Dylan Lardelli fires the ball into the scoring zone in front of Gisborne Boys’ High’s Thom Simmons (right) in a Poverty Bay men’s club hockey game on the turf at Harry Barker Reserve on Saturday. The teams turned on an entertaining 10-goal game, with the students emerging 6-4 victors.
