On Wednesday, 27 May the Boys' First XI beat Auckland Grammar School 3-2 in its annual encounter, courtesy of goals from Daneel Ovtcharenko, Oliver Paterson and Nic Hamlin, to win the Grammar-King’s Shield.

This magnificent play continued throughout the second half to secure the victory. The team now plays Pakuranga College in the semi-finals of the Auckland Secondary Schools Championships on Wednesday, 3 June.
