Final - Ohoka v Allenton
Saturday, 5th July, 1:45pm
Mandeville Sports Centre
This weekend’s Under 21 Colts final marks a proud moment for the Allenton Rugby Football Club, as their rising stars prepare to take on Ohoka in what promises to be a memorable clash. Allenton’s journey to the final is a testament to the strength and spirit of the club — and a reflection of the growing rugby talent in the Mid Canterbury region.
Allenton approach the final with just one blemish on an otherwise outstanding season — a Round 5 loss to Ohoka, where they went down 37–15. Since then, the team has shown impressive growth and resilience, highlighted by a commanding 38–17 semi-final victory over local rivals Methven. That performance was a statement of intent, blending physical dominance with sharp attacking play — hallmarks of a squad that has matured and bonded throughout the campaign.
While Ohoka come into the match unbeaten and with home advantage, Allenton have shown they are more than capable of matching top-tier opposition. The final offers a chance not only to challenge the competition’s front-runners but to bring home silverware for a club that continues to invest in its youth and community.
For Allenton, reaching the final is about more than just rugby — it’s about club pride, development, and the future. The club’s commitment to nurturing young talent has paid dividends, and this final is a reward for the players, coaches, parents and supporters who have backed the team every step of the way.
