28/6/2020

What better way to start the season than a Grand Final replay against the 2019 Auckland Women’s champions -Papakura Sisters?
 
This was a very new look Roses team with only four from last year’s Grand Final team taking the field and ten players making their Roses debut today.
 
As expected, it was a very tough and physical battle out there today with some solid defence from both teams.
 
The Roses got out to a good controlled start forcing two repeat sets in the first 10 minutes but unfortunately were unable to convert that into points.
 
Papakura managed to work their way down the field in the next couple of sets and scored in the corner thanks to a well placed grubber kick. The side line conversion successful making it 6-0 to the visiting Papakura side.
 
The tight tussle continued before Papakura found themselves over the try line again with some strong running. Conversion successful 12-0.


In the final ten minutes of the 1st half the Roses were able to get on the board with a try to Shontelle Woodman with a conversion to Api Nicholls to close the gap to 12-6.
 
Papakura were quick to reply with a strong run from their prop who scored. Conversion was successful taking it back out to a 12-point lead-18-6 to Papakura.
 
The Roses had the last set before half time, worked their way up the mid field and Maraea Ah Kuoi-Atmore was able to work her way over from dummy half to score under the posts. Api Nicolls converted to close out the 1st half, 18-12 to Papakura.
 
Papakura were able to extend their lead just three minutes into the second half scoring down the edge. Conversion was successful, 24-12 to Papakura.
 
Rowena Koonwaiyou made a 30m break to get the Roses on the front foot however Papakura were strong in defence and were able to close out the set.
 
The Roses were camped on their line for back to back sets, but some strong defence saw them keep their defence line intact.
 
The Roses were able to work their way down the field and put the pressure on Papakura eventually succeeding with Roses captain Georgia Hale scoring a try next to the post. Api converted the try to close the gap to 24-18 to Papakura.
 
The back end of the second half was back to a battle with neither team able to get the upper hand. There was solid defence from both teams which included a dominating hit put on by Rowena Koonwaiyou on one of the Papakura prop forward to shut down a try scoring opportunity.
 
With four minutes to go the Roses put a kick through to the corner however the Papakura winger was able to scoop up the loose ball and run sixty metres down the side line. She was on her way to the try line only to be cut down by Kaiyah Atai who came from across the field.
Final score was 24-18 to Papakura -a well-deserved but hard-fought win.
Although the result didn’t go to the Roses way it was still a good first hit out for our young ladies and a solid effort by the whole team.
 
Tries: Shontelle Woodman, Maraea Ah Kuoi-Atmore, Georgia Hale.
Conversions: 3/3 Api Nicholls

We must give special mention to ex Kiwi Fern & Club Legend Tasha Davie
for all the hard work she has put in getting these girls grades up and running in 2017. Tasha noticed a gap in the game for females and got to work trying to fill that void becoming a visionary and the driving force behind pioneering the girl’s grades starting.

​Richmond Roses Update
​

The 2020 Richmond Roses have approximately half of the 2019 Grand Final Team returning this season. Injury, retirement, pregnancy & work commitments all play a part for the other half of the team not returning this season. The Roses team manager Denys Marra was "pleased to announced that they will still be involved with the team when possible".
 
Alice Vailea & Va'anessa Molia-Fraser both suffered season ending knee injuries last season requiring surgery & the team look forward to hopefully having them back on the field at some point this season. Four players from the 2019 Under 18s Richmond Rosebuds move up this season including Maraea Ah Kuoi-Atmore & Rowena Meleisia-Koonwaiyou who both debuted for the Roses last season. Approximately 14 new players have aligned themselves with the Roses this season including a few ladies coming from Rugby Union backgrounds.
 
Since the season was given the green light the Roses have had good numbers at training ranging from 14-22. Going back to basics and teaching/fine tuning things has been the focus for these sessions.

The Richmond Roses are incredibly grateful to have Tony Murray (of Tony Murray Electrical Inspections) back on board with us this season as Major Sponsor & have also been fortunate enough to have a former Richmond Junior and Premier player Savi Hafoka (of Stone Solutions) jump onboard as another sponsor. 
 
On the Roses management team side one of the coaches Tammi has been out of action for a while as she recovers from a hip operation. The team wish her a speedy recovery and have a player registration form at the ready for Tammi to sign upon her return to training.
 
Lastly, a special mention to Lorina 'Lori' Papali'i who after playing rugby league since 1994 has decided to hang up her boots and retire. On behalf of the entire Richmond club and New Zealand rugby league community we thank you for your dedication and service to not only the game itself but also to the Richmond Roses. We wish you all the best for the new journey ahead.
