Go the Mighty Horowhenua!
Not many of you know that I played two years of Senior Rugby for Paekakariki Rugby Club in the Horowhenua. Since then I have been a fan of Horowhenua and enjoyed there sucesses and commisserated over the less sucessful seasons.
I was at the Levin Domain in 1992 when Nelson Bays won the Third Division in the dying seconds (the Nelson Bays Halfback knocked the ball on - you can even see it in the Air NZ TV ad!) and when two 16 year olds - Second five-Eight Carlos Spencer and Centre Christian Cullen - produced a length of the field try against Auckland in a Ranfurly Shield game. (Auckland won by 60 points, but that was the best try of the game.)
Yesterday they destroyed King Country 42-5 - bring on next Saturday, when the Mighty Horowhenua will beat the Wairarapa Bush and win the final Third Division.
