Wairarapa College ended an impressive run of success in the Manawatu secondary schoolboys under-15 rugby competition when they were beaten 31-7 by Feilding in the semifinals.
After going through the round-robin series undefeated, Wairarapa College played second fiddle to Feilding in the set pieces and at the breakdown.
Coach Paul Pottinger said the result was disappointing, considering the team had battled well above their weight throughout the season, but having nine under-14 players in their semifinal team certainly augured well for the future.
The Wairarapa College side will now prepare for their quadrangular tournament in Levin early next month.
