From the outset, Shore controlled the tempo, combining sharp execution with physical dominance. <strong>Rory Keeler<\/strong> impressed with accurate conversions, including several tough kicks from the sideline. <strong>Tom O&#8217;Brien<\/strong> was a standout in open play, showcasing smart kicking and agile footwork to open up the field. Wingers <strong>George Lane<\/strong> and <strong>Joel Hamilford<\/strong> were electric out wide, running smart lines and each crossing for well-earned tries. In the middle, <strong>Nick Yates<\/strong> was relentless at hooker, popping up all over the field and leading the charge in contact. The team\u2019s cohesion and attacking flair overwhelmed the opposition, while a disciplined defensive line kept them scoreless. It was a commanding all-round performance from Shore, demonstrating depth, skill, and strong teamwork across the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"28805\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"28804\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-7.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"28803\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2025\/08\/Rugby-5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shore Second XV vs Newington College<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday\u2019s Second XV clash was thrown into early disarray, with a lightning delay forcing a 30 minute delay in the game ultimately, shortening the game to 22 minute halves.&nbsp;Despite the disruption, Newington College (Newington) settled fast as they opened the scoring with a well-worked try, starting 7-0 up after only a couple of minutes. Shore recovered strongly with some slick passing from <strong>Fin Shadforth<\/strong> to put&nbsp;<strong>Darcy Squire<\/strong> over the line for Shore&#8217;s opening points, the score was levelled up. The teams went into halftime with Newington leading 10-7 after a penalty goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half was an arm wrestle, with neither side able to take full control. At the dying minutes of the game, Shore mounted one final push, hammering away at Newington\u2019s defensive line with a barrage of pick and go&#8217;s. Their patience was rewarded, as <strong>Stirling Strachan<\/strong> crashed over for the winning try. With the conversion slotted, Shore sealed a gritty 14-10 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr David Mason-Jones<\/strong><br>MIC Rugby<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday 2 August 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28802,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[24],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-28801","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/28801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28801"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=28801"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=28801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
