Molecheck 7s: Drama, triumph, and lots of heart
The Reserve Day proved the ticket as clear skies welcomed top contenders to Howick for the much-awaited post-section matches. After a rain-induced delay from the previous week, the Men returned with zeal for their quarter-final clashes. aLAS, it saw the end of the road for Balmoral, East Tāmaki, Royal Oak, and the hosts Howick. The excitement escalated with the Women and Any Combination divisions joining the fray as the semi-finals rolled on. In the Men's contest, Pt Chevalier Pirates triumphed 7-1 over Blockhouse Bay, while Auckland Originals secured their final spot with a 6-3 victory against Mt Albert Lions in a fierce semi-final.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Molecheck for their invaluable support as our naming rights sponsor. Their generous offer of a 22% discount on full examinations for Auckland club members and their donation of two full mole check examinations as spot prizes exemplify their dedication to promoting skin health.
