It's been a full weekend for the Bay of Plenty rugby representative teams, with seven games yesterday, and the Toa team in Taupo today to compete in the 2019 Jock Hobbs National Under 19s Tournament.

The Bay of Plenty Steamers just missed out on a win to the Wellington Lions on Saturday night, with a final score of 15-16 to the Lions.

The half time score at the Rotorua International Stadium had the Steam Team enjoying being on home ground ahead with 10 points to the Lions 9, but the Lions fought back to take the win.

The Bay of Plenty U18 Boys played as the night's Steamers curtain raiser game, and came away with a very satisfying 29-17 win over King Country U18 Boys.

Before the U18 Boys game the Bay of Plenty Roller Mills played Waikato Roller Mills at the Rotorua International Stadium.

It was a tough day in the office for the Bay of Plenty U18 Girls who went down 22-34 to Counties Manukau U18 Girls in their second game of the season at Tauranga Domain.

Counties Manukau Development were up against Ngawha at the Karaka Sports Club.

Meanwhile the Bay of Plenty U16's had a great first game up against Poverty Bay U16's coming away with a 31-10 win in Opotiki on Saturday afternoon.
