The Open Age Restricted competition which had disappeared for several season before reviving in 2023 with 3 teams grew in 2024 with 6 sides competing (Asian Dragons/Otahuhu, Te Atatu, Glenora, Howick, Waiheke, and Mt Albert). The women's competition featured the same number of teams from 2023 (7), however a championship competition formed which included 4 teams from Otara, Richmond, Manurewa, and Glenfield.

At Māngere both teams were desperate to secure the win which would guarantee them a place in the Fox Memorial competition for the year.

Papakura attacking Te Atatu's line with Walter Fifita (#5), and Joshua Tafili (#4) waiting for the ball.

The round started on Wednesday night with Richmond defeating Point Chevalier 26–24 to lift the Stormont Shield. They came home strongly with captain Casey Tomai crashing over on full time to claim victory.[37] Richmond first won the trophy in 1934. Mount Albert had a statement win over Howick, 38–12 at Paparoa Park. Andrew Nansen scored 3 tries for the winners while Dion Fraser scored 14 points through a try and 5 conversions. Te Atatu started strongly, leading 10–0 in as many minutes but Papakura gradually took control of the match. Joseph Price scored a magnificent try to stretch their lead to 18–10 before Te Atatu threatened a comeback with a converted try to Penu Figota. However Price made a try saving tackle on Polima Siaki after a big midfield break by Fine Vakautakakala which would have given the Roosters the lead. Papakura's strong running centres Viliami Lolohea and Joshua Tafili caused constant problems on the edges and they cleared out with 3 tries in the last 15 minutes to win 36–16. The match was live streamed by "iknowit NZ" on their YouTube channel.[38] Otahuhu burst out to a 28–0 lead in 26 minutes including tries to big forwards Sione Feao and Connor Taurua-Purcell in his 150th premier game in the opening sets, but Glenora showed some fight and outscored the Leopards 22–16 over the remainder of the match. Tevita Mikaele kicked 4 goals and scored a try for the home side. At Moyle Park, Kahn Munokoa had a field day for the Manukau side, scoring 5 of their 7 tries. Samuel Nati added the extras for 5 of them in a comfortable 38–18 win. At Blockhouse Bay Reserve the Bay Roskill side made short work of the promoted Otara Scorpions in a ten try rout. Joshua Tanielu scored a double and kicked 2 conversions but Troy Forlong took over the goal kicking converting 6 of their tries. Sefanaia Cowley-Lupo also scored a double.

Bay Roskill scored twice in the final 20 minutes but Troy Forlong's sideline conversion missed in the 78th minute and the Hornets hung on. Richmond had a 16–6 lead at Grey Lynn over Te Atatu before the Roosters came back to take a brief 18–16 lead after Fine Vakautakakala made his third sideline conversion. Beau Cordtz leveled with a penalty and then Solomon Vasuvulagi scored the go ahead try in the 69th minute and Sione Ngahe iced the game in the 78th. Mount Albert thrashed Glenora at Harold Moody Reserve 68-10 scoring at regular intervals throughout each half. A seesaw game at Moyle Park eventually saw Point Chevalier beat Manukau 34–30 in the stroke of full time with a converted try to Brody Tamarua. Kahn Munokoa continued his try scoring run with 3 more for the Magpies bringing his season tally to 11 from 5 games, while Tamarua kicked 5 conversions. Otara went down 20–28 to Papakura.

At halftime the score was 16–6 to the Leopards who then added another 5 second half tries, while the Saints added two of their own with Doux Kauhiva converting 3 from 3.

In the televised match Papakura won 28–10 over an injury hit Otahuhu side missing 6 players. The Sea Eagles took a 12–6 lead into halftime and added 3 more tries including a length of the field effort from Walter Fifita sparked by slick work from James Dowie who also converted 4 of their 5 tries. Joseph Price worked tirelessly and was awarded the Man of the Match award.[51] In Glen Eden the Glenora side suffered another heavy defeat, 52–4 to Richmond with Ropati Tupa'i scoring a double in his 50th match for the Bulldogs senior side. At Te Atatū the home team won with a strong defensive effort and 3 tries in each half. James Hickey having a good game in the centres crossing twice. Fine Vakautakakala moved from the forwards to play 80 minutes at standoff and scored a fine individual try from a Manukau goal line drop out. In a cliff hanger at Fowld's Park the Mt Albert side won 40–34 with a try on full time to Noah Harmer-Campbell after Bay Roskill had taken the lead in the 63rd minute with a converted try to Joshua Tanielu. Eiden Ackland scored one of the Lions tries to go with 6 conversions. Point Chevalier welcomed back Francis Leger who was named in the reserves to play Otara, with Juelz Baker and Chaz Brown also in the starting side after being signed by the Pirates during the week. The Pirates were in control from the start and Compton Purcell ran in 5 of their 9 tries and Noah Jensen scored on debut. At Murray Halberg Park the home team scored a converted try on full time to 18 year old Nico Mu, who completed his hat trick with the feat, to take their first competition point in the Fox. Mu was on debut and the match was for the trophy (The David Mu Cup) to commemorate his father David Mu, who had been involved heavily with both clubs but had passed away suddenly in 2020.[52] Jethro Friend made his first appearance of the season for the Hornets and scored one of their 4 tries.

The televised match was between Te Atatu and the Otahuhu. The Roosters defence was a feature of the match, holding Otahuhu scoreless until the last 25 minutes. Te Atatu built a 16–0 lead by halftime with 3 tries, 2 converted by Fine Vakautakakala, before Unaloto Suli crashed over following a break by Khalan Clyde. Sione Feao went over in the 56th minute for the Leopards, before Benjamin Wharton-Benedict scored a consolation try in the 76th minute.[67] At Fowlds Park, the Papakura Sea Eagles blew Mount Albert off the park racing out to a 20–0 lead in 23 minutes with Walter Fifita and his backline teammates running freely particularly down the left edge. Their try scoring continued in the second half with Joseph Price constantly causing problems for the Lions defence. Mount Albert threatened a comeback when they got the score back to 30-18 but they let in two more tries thanks to continued hard running by the Sea Eagles forwards. Richmond dealt the Vikings playoff hopes a blow when they flew out to a 32–12 halftime lead. Anthony Goulton scored a hat trick for the Bulldogs with Beau Cordtz scoring 16 points, while Joshua Tanielu scored 14 of the Vikings 22 points. At Moyle Park the visiting Otara side threatened an upset leading 6–4 at halftime. Manukau took a 16–6 lead with tries to Danya Aleni and Kahn Munokoa converted by Samuel Nati before Otara scored 2 tries of their own. However a conversion which would have tied the game with 5 minutes to go missed and the Magpies held on. Glenora suffered another heavy defeat with Nico Mu scoring a hat trick for the visiting Marist side, and Doux Kauhiva scored twice to go with 4 conversions, while Isileli Ula also scored twice. The match was streamed by Petes Filming.[68] At Paparoa Park Howick went down to Point Chevalier 24–16. The Pirates sealed the game with a try to debutante Albert Vete, who had returned to New Zealand from England, in the 64th minute. Howick scored a 76th minute try to Sione To'a but missed their 4th conversion which would have given them a chance to draw the game late.

The live streamed match saw Mt Albert out to a 12–0 lead before Pt Chevalier replied with 4 tries, however none of them were converted thus Mt Albert's 3 converted tries gave them an 18-16 half time lead. A clever kick out of dummy half by Blade Collins-Kamuhemu laid on a try for Brody Tamarua giving the Pirates a 22–18 lead. The game seesawed until Darren Kellett-Moore's try, converted by Dion Fraser gave the Lions a lead which they held on to. Patrick Sipley played his 100th premier match for Point Chevalier.[75] Richmond won easily over Otara 52–0 with first half doubles to big forwards James Gavet and Solomon Vasuvulagi. Sione Ngahe scored in his 50th premier game for the Bulldogs, with Hawaiiki Annandale also playing his 50th match for Richmond. Beau Cordtz crossed twice in the second half and kicked 6 goals. A hat-trick from Bay Roskill centre Nixon Leaso, and a double to winger Hikoirangi Paki got the Vikings over the line at Murray Halberg Park. They always looked dangerous on attack but squandered chances to win more comfortably. For Marist, Nico Mu showed his speed to score twice for the Saints. Referee Daniel Caddy injured a calf in a collision with a player and touch judge David Millar took over for the second half. Otahuhu took control of their match with Manukau early and went on to win 52–22 with all the Magpies points coming in the second half. Tevita Mikaele and Toaiti Ramsay scored doubles for the Leopards while Bostyn Hakaraia converted 8 of their 9 tries. Papakura were up 16–0 in 7 minutes against Glenora before the Bears threatened to make a game of it getting the score back to 24–14 before the Sea Eagles piled on another 7 tries to win 60–16. Former Tongan rugby international Viliami Lolohea scored a hat-trick, while James Dowie added 6 conversions to his 2 tries. Te Atatu had a statement win at Paparoa Park beating a Howick team they hadn't won against for well over a decade. Fine Vakautakakala put the Roosters ahead early with an individual effort and he also converted a 73rd minute try to Jeremiah Poutu before adding another penalty near full time. The Hornets had taken the lead in the 47th minute with a converted try to Tamehana Paruru and clung on 12-10 for 25 minutes before the Rooosters came home strongly to take the win.

On Wednesday night Manukau caused an upset beating Howick 36–18. Manukau started well, scoring three tries in the opening 25 minutes. Howick narrowed the score with a try to Sione To'a but Manukau extended their lead after halftime with Daley Cassin getting his second try. Howick threatened to make a game of it with two converted tries narrowing the score to 24-18 but Manukau finished off a deserved win with "Health Basics" Player of the Match, Taunga Arama scoring, and Raven Togiafofoa getting another on full time. Samuel Nati was perfect with the boot kicking 6 from 6.[82] Richmond maintained their unbeaten record with a comfortable 32–8 win over Marist scoring 6 tries to 2. Anthony Goulton crossed for his 14th try of the season. Otahuhu scored 5 tries in 15 minutes to open up a 26–0 lead at Ngati Otara Park. Otara scored two tries midway through the game before the Leopards eased out to a 48–10 victory with Taeiti Ramsay scoring a double and Bostyn Hakaraia kicking 5 goals.

At Blockhouse Bay Reserve the Papakura side opened the game with three quick tries before Bay Roskill brought things back to 16–14 with Jarvis Leaoseve scoring on half time. The Sea Eagles sealed the game with another flurry of scoring early in the second half with tries to Ionatana Su'a, Jamie Henry, and Joseph Price, with James Dowie converting 5 of their 6 tries. The match was filmed by Petes Filming.[83] At Walker Park, Point Chevalier made a flying start, scoring 5 tries in the opening 15 minutes including a hat trick to Compton Fuatimau. They added three more before half time and another five in the second half to inflict another heavy defeat on Glenora. Te Atatu recorded their first victory over Mt Albert for many years on the back of a huge defensive effort. Fine Vakautakakala scored a double and kicked three goals, while Pueomanu Leuluai also crossing twice. Mt Albert threatened to make a game of it with a second half try to Bonowai Baledrokadroka narrowing the score to 22–14 with 15 minutes left but the physical Roosters defence began forcing errors and Vakatakakala crashed over on full time to cap off a superb performance. The match was live streamed by "iknowit NZ".[84]

The winless Otara played their first Wednesday night game of the season against Marist. Manu Vatuvei made a reappearance for Otara after having only played for them a handful of times during the season but left the field in the first half with a dislocated shoulder. In a hard-fought match Marist hung on late to win 22–14 with Isileli Ula and Nico Mu both scoring doubles for the Saints. George Gatapu converted all 3 of Otara's tries.[91] Richmond took on local rivals Mount Albert at Fowlds Park and ran out comfortable 30–12 winners. James Gavet scored a try for the Bulldogs with Ropati Tupa'i and Soakai Taufa both getting doubles. Mount Albert welcomed back Eiden Ackland from his hamstring injury and he scored both of Mount Albert's tries. Te Atatu's excellent run of form continued with a deserved 26–22 victory over Point Chevalier which saw Te Atatu lift the Roope Rooster trophy for the first time since 2005 (losing it in 2006). Point Chevalier had held the trophy for over three years. Centre James Jickey scored twice, while fullback Lima Siaki all but sealed the game with an excellent try after gathering Kadiyae Ioka's hooked chip kick to score under the posts.

At Harold Moody Park in Glen Eden Howick snapped a three-game losing streak beating the winless Glenora 36–20 with Jarney Proctor scoring two of their seven tries. The Bears were more competitive than some recent efforts and scored four tries of their own. Papakura took control of their game against Manukau moving out to a 16–0 lead after 18 minutes. They extended it to 20–0 with a Jamie Henry try in the 51st minute before Manukau staged a mini fight back with two quick tries before the Sea Eagles finished things off with Cortez Taulu's second try near full time. For the Sea Eagles James Dowie scored twice and kicked two conversions. A high scoring game took place at Bert Henham Park with the lead changing hands several times before the home side Otahuhu took control midway through the second half with 3 tries in 18 minutes. For the Leopards Sione Feao scored twice as did Caleb Meleisea and Antonio Adams with Adams also converting 3 tries to help the Leopards solidify their place in the top 6. While Vikings fullback Joshua Tanielu scored a try to go with 100% from the kicking tee converting all five tries.

Round 9

Richmond celebrate a Beau Cordtz try against Papakura.
 
Patrick Sipley scoring Point Chevalier's opening try against Marist.

In Wednesday night Papakura and Richmond played out an entertaining match with Papakura prevailing 27–24.[98] The Sea Eagles opened strongly with three tries to take a 14–0 lead before Richmond scored on halftime. Richmond took control in the second half scoring three more tries to take a 20–14 lead before a Jeff Tatupu try converted by James Dowie levelled the scores at 20. Dowie then slotted a drop goal with 7 minutes left and finished off a midfield break to all but secure the win with a late try to Soakai Taufa little more than a consolation for Richmond.

Otahuhu scored a crucial win at Paparoa Park against Howick whose playoff hopes all but ended while Otahuhu's are nearly secure. For the Leopards Penehuro Toai scored twice to help them out to a 20–0 lead at the 50 minute mark. Howick rallied late with three tries in the final 20 minutes but it was too late to keep their season alive. The match was filmed by Petes Filming.[99] Point Chevalier threatened to win easily with 2 early converted tries to Patrick Sipley and Noah Jensen but Marist hung around and after a Lani Graham-Taufa try early in the second half might have hoped to win before the Pirates scored two more to clinch the win.[100] At Ngati Otara Park the home side scored first through Robert-Alan Fatialofa but then the Lions scored twice before halftime and added three more after the break with Dion Fraser scoring one and converting four. Joshua Perez scored a consolation try for the Scorpions. The result at Blockhouse Bay was one for the record books with the Te Atatu side tearing Bay Roskill to pieces 82–0. The backs in particularly made break after break and scored fourteen of their fifteen tries with Ethan Figota scoring four, Polima Siaki three, and Robin Herbert and Daniel Sausau two each.[101] At Moyle Park the winless Glenora Bears threatened a big upset scoring three tries in 20 minutes to lead 18–0. However the Magpies woke up and scored twice before halftime and then ran in six second half tries for 42 unanswered points before Glenora scored a late try to Sunia Tamale. For Manukau the prolific Kahn Munokoa scored four tries which gave him 19 for the season to this point.

Round 10

Daniel Sausau running the length of the field to score for Te Atatu.
 
Fine Vakautakakala crashing over to score Te Atatu's third try.

Despite the two winless teams meeting in the Wednesday night game an entertaining match ensued. Otara took a 10–4 lead into the halftime break courtesy of two individual tries to George Gatapu. Glenora, who had the better attacking record coming into the game showed this throughout, creating more chances in each half and crossing for 3 second half tries to take the victory. Malakai Kupu scored a double and was awarded the Player of the Match award. Lonnie Papani also scored a try and kicked 3 conversions.[108] After a very wet week most of the Saturday games were played in sunny conditions though on soft fields. Richmond had a comfortable 38–6 win over Howick at Grey Lynn with Siave Togoiu scoring an early double and Beau Cordtz kicking 5 conversions to go with a try. The win saw them maintain their spot at the top of the table on points difference over Papakura. At Prince Edward Park, Papakura took over the match with Point Chevalier in the second half after they only led 12–10 at the break. Lewis Soosemea scored three tries for the Sea Eagles and James Dowie scored one and converted four of their seven tries.

Shane Hannam scoring on full time.

At Fowlds Park Mount Albert and Otahuhu were locked at 16–16 at halftime. Otahuhu scored first after the break through centre Emeliano Mikaele adding his second try to take the lead. Then Mount Albert replied with a try to winger Isaiah Fale which Dion Fraser converted from the sideline to edge ahead 22–20 in the 51st minute. However the Leopards stormed home running in four tries in the last 12 minutes including two to Maddison Tekeu to win 38–22. The match was filmed by Petes Filming.[109] Te Atau had a comfortable 40–12 win over Marist. Daniel Sausau ran 95 metres after Marist lost the ball on attack to give them a 12–0 lead late in the first half before Fine Vakautakakala extended the lead crashing over from a dummy half play. After the halftime siren Marist kicked ahead and with a tricky bounce fooling Polima Siaki, Lani Graham-Taufa gathered and scored by the posts to narrow the halftime score to 16–6. Immediately after the start of the second half Marist hooker Sunia Akai'ola was knocked unconscious when taking a hit up and from the resulting loose ball Shaun Tempest toed it ahead and scored behind the posts. Zion Ioka scored a try and converted six of their seven tries. At Blockhouse Bay Reserve the home side bounced back somewhat from their heavy defeat the week before to draw 18–18 with Manukau. The Magpies winger Kahn Munokoa scored a try on full time but the conversion which would have won them the game missed.

Round 11

Andrew Nanson breaking away to score Mt Albert's opening try.
 
Aisake Tauatina leaving two defenders on the ground to score for Manukau.

The televised match saw local rivals the Te Atatu Roosters and Glenora Bears play the final Wednesday night game of the regular season. The Bears started strongly scoring two tries to take a 10–0 lead before the favourites, the Roosters scored six unanswered tries to go ahead 28–10 before a consolation try to Malakai Kupu. For Te Atatu, captain Fine Vakautakakala was named Player of the Match which also featured all four Suli brothers playing for Te Atatu.[116] At Bert Henham Park the Otahuhu Leopards threatened a significant upset when they went out to an early 12–0 lead but Richmond answered with 4 first half tries to take a 20–12 lead. Both teams only scored a try each in the second half which meant that for the second consecutive season Richmond have won the Rukutai Shield. It is the ninth time in their history that they have won the trophy.

 
Viliami Kuli about to cross following Aisake Tauatina's scrambled off load.
 
Manukau prop Taunga Arama crossing for Manukau's 5th try. Corey Seator's late hit led to it being an '8 point' try.

At Prince Edward Park, the local side blew Marist away in the first half leading 32–0 at the break. They continued to dominate with five more second half tries. James Dowie scored three tries and kicked 10 goals for a personal haul of 32 points. Christian-Jordan Tupou and Ngarima Pita both scored doubles. The match was filmed by Petes Filming[117] Howick farewelled the retiring Jethro Friend who was playing in his 166th game for them before retiring with a 36–28 win.[118] Peter Oliveti was also playing in his 150th Fox Memorial game before retiring. The Scorpions threatened to ruin the occasion bursting out to a 16–0 lead before the Hornets worked back into the game. However they still needed 10 points in the final 7 minutes including a try to Oliveti, to overcome the Scorpions who were consigned to last place with the result. Bay Roskill raced out to a 14–0 lead after just 13 minutes against Point Chevalier at Walker Park. The home side worked back into the game before an Xavier Tutaki try converted by Joshua Tanielu with 13 minutes to go gave the Vikings a 20–12 lead. However the Pirates scored three tries in nine minutes to snatch the win. The margin however meant that they finished 5th to Otahuhu by just 1 for and against points and forced them into an away quarter final.

 
Elijah Solomona about to score Manukau's 7th try to give them a 38-16 lead.

At Fowlds Park Manukau ran away to a 40–20 victory after a dominant second half. When they scored their 7th try to take a 40–16 lead with around ten minutes left they had hopes of winning by the 32 point margin needed to make the top six. Mount Albert had gone into the game 72 points ahead of them so the Magpies needed a win by 36 or more points. However, after a string of penalties Mount Albert scored a try to Isaiah Fale to seal Manukau's fate, tying for 6th but missing the playoffs by points differential. For the Magpies, prop Taunga Arama, capped a strong game scoring a 65th minute try while Viliami Kuli scored three tries and Samuel Nati kicked 6 goals.

Semi Finals

Paterika Vaivai passing in Te Atatu's 22-10 semi final win over Mount Albert.

Favourites Te Atatu extended their winning streak to ten games with a comfortable 22–10 win over Mount Albert. The Roosters dominated the first quarter, cracking the Lions defense with tries to Jeremiah Poutu and James Hickey. Mount Albert got back into the game later in the half and after John Suli was sinbinned in the 36th minute they used the advantage for Eiden Ackland to finish a sweeping movement to make it 12–6 in the 44th minute. The Roosters restored their lead midway through the second half with Pueomanu Leuluai crossing in the corner with Fine Vakautakakala slotting the sideline conversion. Then Jeremiah Poutu's bulldozing double with twelve minutes to go finished the Lions hopes off. The game was filmed by iknowitnz.[125] Rory Ropati, a Mount Albert junior scored a try on full time in his 100th game for Mount Albert. At Otahuhu the visiting Point Chevalier side raced out to a 23–0 halftime lead despite the loss of Jordan Tuarae in the 2nd minute to a bad head knock. The Pirates dominated field position and forwards Matthew Whyte, Brody Tamarua, and Patrick Sipley all found holes to score. It was capped by Noah Jensen running 40 metres after supporting a Dylan Tavita break. Tavita then slotted a drop goal on half time. Early in the second half Ioritana Leifi scored Otahuhu's first try before Brody Tamarua from the Pirates suffered a head injury in an attempted tackle and left the field. Referee Chris McMillan lost his patience with Point Chevaliers repeated infringing and sent Dylan Tavita to the sin bin with Penehuro Toai crossing for a try immediately afterwards. Crucially for Otahuhu all of their tries were scored wide out with Antonio Adams missing three conversion attempts and Tevita Mikaele one. Toaiti Ramsay's brilliant second try in the 77th minute was ultimately little more than a consolation effort. The match was filmed by Petes Filming for YouTube.[126]

Preliminary Finals
edit
 
Jacob Paulo about to spin through a tackle and plant the ball for Papakura's 4th try in their 24–20 win over Te Atatu.

Richmond gained revenge of sorts by eliminating the Point Chevalier side which beat them in last years final. Richmond dominated the first half and went out out a 12–0 lead at half time through tries to Solomon Vasuvulagi and Lopine Kioa. Prodigious scorer Anthony Goulton crossed in the corner for another and then big prop Sione Ngahe crashed over for a try with Beau Cordtz adding the extras to give them a nearly anassailable 22–0 lead with 30 minutes left. Earlier in the game Solomon Vasuvulagi and Lopine Kioa had benefited from their dominant field position crashing through the Pirates right edge defence. In the middle of the second half James Gavet was knocked unconscious while making a tackle and was taken from the field and ultimately missed the grand final.

 

The Pirates came back late with two converted tries but it was too little, too late. Richmond making their second consecutive grand final with the match filmed by Petes Filming.[129] At Prince Edward Park the physical Papakura side overcame a gallant Te Atatu team. The Roosters scored first with a try to Pueomanu Leuluai, converted from the touchline by captain Paterika Vaivai with regular kicker Fine Vakautakakala nursing an injured knee from the previous week. The Sea Eagles totally dominated the next 20 minutes and under an avalanche of possession they ran in three tries, with Walter Fifita scoring two of them. Te Atatu eventually got some possession and following a long range break by Daniel Reuelu-Buchanan he crossed a couple of plays later. The Sea Eagles restored their lead before halftime with Jacob Paulo bouncing through tacklers and twisting to plant the ball. Five minutes into the second half Lewis Soosemea scored a stunning length of the field try after bursting down the right wing and throwing Roosters full back Robin Herbert aside, giving the Sea Eagles a significant 24–12 lead. In the 53rd minute Jeremiah Poutu crossed for the Roosters to make it 24-16 and for a long period of time the Roosters attacked the Sea Eagles line being held up multiple times. This defence proved crucial as when the Roosters finally did cross, with Poutu scoring his second after nice play by Kadiyae Ioka there was barely time for the restart before the siren sounded. The win sent the Sea Eagles to the Fox Memorial grand final for the first time since their win in 2016.

Siave Togoiu dives on a loose ball to score Richmond's first try.
 
Solomon Vasuvulagi crashes over for Richmond's second try.

Richmond won the Fox Memorial Shield for the first time since 1980 with a nail biting win at the end of extra time. The match was screened on sky sport and live streamed on the Auckland Rugby League YouTube channel.[132] They handled the wet conditions better than Papakura in an error riddled first half which saw Papakura completing just 38% of their first half sets with Richmond also poor but significantly better at 62%. Richmond scored first after Lewis Soosemea spilled a kick in the in goal which Siave Togoiu dived on. Then late in the half Solomon Vasuvulagi bulldozed over carrying defenders with him and Beau Cordt'z conversion gave them a 10-0 first half lead.

 
Beau Cordtz kicks the winning drop goal for Richmond in the 90th minute.
 
Richmond players and supporters celebrate the final whistle.

Beau Cordtz scored himself in the 54th minute with a clever chip through the line saw him slide over. Papakura sparked into life following a break by Walter Fifita with Jeremiah Schuster being sinbinned for holding him down. Soon after captain Stedman Lefau crashed over under the posts and 3 minutes later Joseph Price showed his footwork by finding a hole and scoring in the same location. From the kickoff Papakura broke down the left edge and after some near misses gained a penalty in a handy position. James Dowie kicked the goal to level the scores at 14–14 with 7 minutes to go. Both teams had drop goal efforts go astray and the score was locked after 80 minutes. Richmond had more of the field position during extra time and after a drop goal by Beau Cordtz was charged down a Papakura forward knocked on. From the resulting scrum in front of the posts Beau Cordtz snapped the drop goal which saw Richmond break their championship drought with no time for the restart. Cordtz was also awarded the Doug Price Medal for the Man of the Match.

Several games did not have points entered into the ARL online database while some matches had individual point scorers unnamed and some scoring entries may be erroneous so the scoring is unofficial and incomplete though for the most part an accurate representation of the leading scorers.

Then on fulltime Papakura were awarded a penalty in front which Platinum Marsters slotted to send it to extra time 26-26. Early in extra time Otara scored with Feagiai Malisi crossing. Crucially it was yet another try scored out wide and they missed their sixth conversion attempt. Then with time nearly up Charnyze Pihema scored an excellent solo try for the Sea Eagles with determined running seeing her cross under the posts. The conversion by Marsters handing them their final 2 point lead. At Grey Lynn Park the home Richmond Roses proved far too strong for the Taniwharau side with Paris Pickering and Kaiyah Atai crossing in the first half and then they added four more in the second half. Ilaisaane Taufa converted four of the six tries.

Grand Final
edit
 
E Wai Tupaea scoring the winning try for Papakura.

Papakura won the Steele-Shanks Cup after a game that saw all 34 point scored at the same end of the field. Playing with a wind at their back in steady rain the Richmond Roses dominated the first 20 minutes scoring 4 unconverted tries to Shaniah Lui, Demielle Onesemo-Tuilaepa, Danika Manase, and Ilaisaane Taufa. Most were wide out but perhaps crucially none of them were converted by Ilaisaane Taufa meaning Richmond only led 16–0 lead at halftime. Playing with the wind after the break the Sea Eagles scored in the 45th, 60th, and 65th minutes, including tries to sisters Jessie Edwards Rua and Lisa Edwards Rua with Freesia Pokaia also crashing through on her own in between. They had narrowed the score to 16–14, then with 4 minutes to go E Wai Tupaea found space in the left corner to dive over for the go ahead try. The Sea Eagles then hung on for the title win.

Full season top try scorers and point scorers

edit

The full season point scoring and tries is from the regular season, and then playoff games. Some games did not have points entered into the ARL online database while some matches had individual point scorers unnamed and some scoring entries may be erroneous so the scoring is unofficial and incomplete though for the most part is an accurate indication of the leading scorers.

Round 3
edit

The Petes Filming streamed match was between Hibiscus Coast and Ponsonby at Stanmore Bay. The two leading teams fought out a 22–22 draw. Caleb Carter kicked a penalty in the 67th minute to give the Raiders a 18–16 lead before Jeremiah Pai was sinbinned minutes later for a high tackle on a Ponsonby player. Ponsonby scored a converted try to lead 22–18 with 3 minutes left. Then on the stroke of full time Peti Tarui scored for the Raiders in the right corner. Caleb Carter had the chance to win the game with a sideline conversion but for the second time in the match his conversion attempt hit the post and bounced away.[196] Papatoetoe beat Pukekohe 56–20 at Kuhuora Park in a 12 try to 4 rout. The Panthers were missing regular goal kicker Jordyn Makiha and only 4 of their tries were converted with 4 different kickers getting one each. At Escott Road in Tuakau the Broncos got their first win in the Sharman Cup with Timothy Banks scoring a double and Rangi Ewe having a perfect day with the boot converting all 6 of their tries. At Birkenhead the Northcote side won convincingly on the scoreboard but it took a flurry of late points after Manurewa narrowed the score to 20–16 with a 55th minute try to Papagafoa Stowers. The Tigers then piled on 5 tries in the final 11 minutes including two to James Bhana who completed a hat trick.

Round 6
edit

Papatoetoe fell 2 points short of what would have been a famous win over the Northcote Tigers. A side they would have rarely been in the same division with let alone beaten. Jarius Mahi-Delamere's second try in the 66th minute gave them a chance as they closed to 24-26 but they missed the equalising conversion and the Tigers held on for the win. The match was filmed by Petes Filming.[212] Mangere East scored 15 tries in a 72–0 rout of Tuakau. In Pukekohe the Ponsonby side took a 10–0 lead after 27 minutes but scored no more points as Pukekohe matched them in the second half to level the scores 10-10. Neither side could break the deadlock over the final 30 minutes. In the second draw of the round Pakuranga found themselves down 4-20 early in the second half before 16 points in 17 minutes including two tries to Otira Moala saw them level the scores with 15 to go. There was no further scoring with a 20–20 score the final result. The match between Glenfield and Hibiscus Coast was postponed after a Glenfield player suffered a severe medical event and was taken to hospital where they were recovering.

Round 8
edit

The match between Hibiscus Coast and Mangere East was filmed by Petes Filming with the previously unbeaten Mangere East going down 26–14. Hibiscus Coast scored each time they got on attack and took a 16–0 lead before Mangere East scored close to halftime to narrow it to 16–4.[223] The Raiders extended their lead with a long range try to Tevita Kengike in the 44th minute before Mangere East worked their way back into the game with two tries. In a top four clash at the Birkenhead War Memorial the Northcote Tigers scored a try to James Cook in the 78th minute, converted by Nickolas Lythgo to win it 28–26 over Ponsonby Ponies. Manurewa notched their second win of the Sharman Cup, 36–22 over Tuakau with Fred Faamita scoring twice. Papatoetoe kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 58–4 win over Pakuranga. Saunoa Mika and Chesire Carson both scored doubles with Jordyn Makiha kicking 7 goals. Glenfield and Pukekohe were level on the table but Glenfield won easily 46–16, Sione Liuanga, Manase To'angutu, and Zavier Sofaea scoring two tries each with To'angutu also kicking three conversions.

The Open Age Restricted grade was in the second year of its 'comeback' into the Auckland Rugby League competition structure. It increased from 3 teams in 2023 to 6 in 2024. The new teams included Waiheke Rams, Glenora Bears, Howick Hornets, and the Asian Dragons which was a team made up of ethnic Asian players but affiliated to the Otahuhu club. The Waiheke Rams won the competition with a narrow 22–20 win over Mt Albert at Cornwall Park.
