NBS SENIOR MEN'S BASKETBALL RESULTS

Week 8: Jazz Electrics 30 - Legends 28. MVP - Mull. Bricklayers 76 - GB scaffolding 15. MVP - Daniel. Bye - Laser Electrical. Week 9: Laser Electrical 32 - Legends 30. MVP

Both Golden Bay’s men's teams played some excellent semifinal football in their respective cup competitions last Saturday, but neither made it through to the final.

In their home semi-final of the Thorkild Hansen Memorial Cup, Golden Bay’s Masters side the Stingrays faced Nelson Suburbs, the division’s most consistent team. It was a tight game that remained scoreless for 90 minutes and required extra time to decide who would progress to the final.

The game started out well with plenty of drama and high tensions on both sides. The Stingrays' new tactic of holding their attackers at the halfway line after losing possession and pushing for Suburbs to make a mistake, proved effective during the first half, which the home side dominated.

The Stingrays’ defence, backed by keeper Phil Smith, frustrated the Suburbs’ attackers throughout the match allowing the home side to build momentum in the second half. "We were playing an A-league level game," said Phil.

Five minutes before the end of normal time, the Stingrays conceded a penalty, but Phil has a solid record, having saved more than 60 per cent of spot kicks this season. And he added to that impressive figure by stopping the Suburbs’ low, hard strike, which was bound for the corner of the goal.

Lifted by this escape, the home side started extra time with a spring in their step and held their own until the final 15 minutes, when the visitors increased pressure, pushed forward and scored twice.

Final score (aet): GB Stingrays 0 v Nelson Suburbs 2. Roli Muntwyler man of the match: Sam Hopley.

Goats’ goal fest

In the semi-final of the Gould and Tout Trophy – the Men’s Division 2 cup competition – GB Mountain Goats travelled over the Hill to take on FC Nelson Loco Steamers.

It proved to be something of a goal fest, and with the scores level at 6-6 at the end of 120 minutes of football, the match was decided on penalties. This was also extremely tight with the Steamers eventually winning the sudden death shoot out 9-8 now going on to face FC Nelson Chin United in the final.

Shield Maidens outfoxed

Golden Bay’s senior women the Shield Maidens travelled to Jubilee Park to face Richmond Foxes in a Women’s Premiership tie. The Maidens had enjoyed something of a winning streak but were unable to tame the foxes.

Final score: Richmond Foxes 9 v GB Shield Maidens 1.

The penultimate round of the Tasman Rugby Division 2 competition was played last Saturday – and it didn’t go well for Golden Bay sides.

For the second week running both teams returned empty handed from away fixtures.

Up against Marist at Tahunanui, Collingwood got off to a slow start and by half-time were 13-3 down. A yellow card issued to Oliver Haldane in the first half came back to bite the visitors on the 60-minute mark when he received a second caution and saw red, which removed him from the field of play.

Marist capitalised on the manpower advantage to add further points and end the match 30-3 winners. The unexpected result bumps Collingwood down to fifth spot in the table making tomorrow’s round robin match against Nelson at Neale Park a must-win game if the Black and Gold

This is the Senior Div II final game for the season, so we hope to see you on the sideline in red and blue are to feature in the semi-finals.

A much-weakened Tākaka side, unable to field 15 players in their match against Wanderers, also suffered disappointment. Although both teams agreed under NZ Rugby’s “game on” initiative to play 14-a-side, Tākaka were reduced to 13 in the second half as a result of injuries.

The diminished resources meant players were playing out of their regular positions and, despite their best efforts, Tākaka were unable to prevent the home side running up a triple-digit points tally. Final score: Wanderers 101 v Tākaka 5.

The defeat leaves Tākaka in eighth position in the table, 10 points adrift of a semi-final spot, which means tomorrow’s home clash against Marist will definitely be their final match of the season.
