Fullback Jamie Viljoen scored under the posts in the sixth minute and in the 12th, from an attacking scrum, halfback Kallum Gullery swung the ball left for second-five Tayne Harvey to go over.
Ace left-footer, vice-captain and first-five Liam O’Connor converted all three tries.
In the 16th minute, from a lineout 5m from the right corner, vice-captain/hooker Lee Oudenryn found blindside flanker Ollie Barham at No.2, and from the ensuing drive, Oudenryn scored the first of his two tries (26-0).
Ten minutes later, from a Barham lineout take at the 22 and a short pass from Illston-Park, Oudenryn cut hard to score behind the posts for 31-0.
O’Connor converted that and a try scored by left-wing Nehemiah Sua from the restart.
The visitors survived a dicey period late in the half. Ingram was held up on the tryline twice before wing Safin Tuwairua-Brown made a brilliant defensive play in the 34th minute. His tackle from behind on Crosswell after he intercepted a loose pass at halfway was a classic.
PNBHS closed the first-half scoring two minutes later with a try to Illston-Park after four phases from a lineout drive .
From the resumption, Gisborne looked organised and made the visitors work hard.
Few worked harder than Illston-Park, whose next try came in the 49th minute from a 5m attacking scrum.
O’Connor potted the goal for 52-0.
Ilston-Park wrapped up the scoring with a runaway try at the 54th minute off an incredible flick pass from right-wing Jaziah Symons.
O’Connor kicked his seventh conversion for 59-0.
All was not lost for Gisborne, who used the last quarter of an hour superbly.
Ingram made a magnificent ball-and-all tackle on Viljoen on the PNBHS 22, forcing the knock-on. One scrum and a ruck later, the Red Sea parted in front of the posts and Ingram went straight through to score.
Gray converted the 57th minute try for 7-0 and added the trimmings after reserve right-wing Gibson Poi intercepted and showed real gas on his way to the line.
Gisborne scored their third and final try in the 65th minute after strong surges from reserve prop Ratu Nairoroi. From a penalty tap, Gisborne retained possession over eight phases of play.
Their continuity of play, body position at close quarters, finished off 2m to the left of the posts by No.8 and MVP Luke Bidois, provided a fitting end to the game.
Gray converted Bidois’s mighty effort.
“I was very proud of our boys — we trusted our structures,” Ilston-Park said. “We’re building as a team and have lots to work on but I’m very excited for the rest of the season.”
Ingram said: “We showed heart to stay in the fight despite the score and once we got to play in their half, we gained in confidence. Our defence improved a lot in the second half. That allowed us to put some pressure on them.”
GBHS head coach Duane Hihi pointed out the visitors’ class in swinging the ball from sideline to sideline, while noting the spark brought by his reserves bench in a positive second-half showing.
Turnock had much to be pleased with. “It was a pleasing result from our point of view because in the first 35 minutes we were clinical in our execution. In the second half, Gisborne got into it a bit and deserved their scores.”
Match officials Ben Holt, Les Thomas and Joel Pearse did a top job in terms of decisions, consistency and communication.
