Collegiate's Hadleigh O'Leary, seen here in last year's home fixture against St Johns Hamilton, scored a hat trick against the same side on their own patch on Saturday.
Whanganui Collegiate 1st XV picked up their first win in the CNI competition after smashing St John's on their own Hamilton patch, 59-14 on Saturday.
Having lost in the final minute against Wesley College near Pukekohe the previous week, Collegiate's coaching staff asked the team to make a stronger start
to this match, and they delivered in spades with three converted tries in the first ten minutes.
Left winger Hadleigh O'Leary cut through the middle off a planned move from the set piece move to open their account, before brother Shaun O'Leary, playing on the other wing, was on the end of a good team support try.
Hadleigh O'Leary then crossed again in his corner, with Te Atawhai Mason added another difficult conversion.
In his report, Collegiate head coach Steve Simpson said they scored twice more in the first half, starting with imposing No 8 Semi Vodosese, who ripped back possession from a St John's player and ran 75m to score in the corner.
