Senior Division 2
Round One Wrap
So close yet so far. After fourteen long weeks the first round of Division two metro has come to an end with the Killer Beez not quite having enough sting to make the champship round. After losing the first four games and not even gaining a bonus point the team did extremely well to fight back and give themselves a chance of making it. Playing some dogged tuff rugby the boys came back and won 6 out of their last 10 games including 5 bonus point victories. One highlight in particular was stretching the unbeaten Sumner in a hard fought game. 15 each at halftime and still only 3 points behind with 15 to play we couldnt quite get over the line eventually losing 15 to 25.
A core group of players has emerged throughout the year and it is these players we will look to, going forward in to the next round. Although it is not where we want to be it is important that we lift ourselves up off the canvas and come out swinging over these next 6 weeks and finish the season off with a bang.
The team has shown great character and never waivered from the task at hand, even the weeks when we could only field 12 or 13 of our regular players ("The Core").
We have fielded a total of 56 club members in the Div 2 grade this year. Both coaches would like to thank all those who have helped us out this year so far.
On behalf of the Div 2 side we would like to congratulate a couple of people that have graced the Div 2 side over the past 6 years. Firstly Juzza on completing his 50 Division One games and earning his blazer and also to Izaac Ross on becoming the All Black that we have always known he would be. We were extremely lucky to have Izaac play one game for us last year. A memory and story our lads will cherish.
Good luck to all teams over the coming weeks trying to win some silverware.

New Brighton DIV 2 (AKA) KILLER BZ
The mighty killer B's where born in 2005 when the side played in its first championship final coached by Den cations against Christchurch. Past players include club legends such as Jp, Fatty popo, Tank and our now player coach's Lambie and Scotty P (Eric).
Current long serving players include BC, Juzza, Junior, Ginga, Teale, Chevy walk about debous and Api. Keg and crusto also chip in at times.
In 2006 the side won the then Telecom Trophy, against burnside. Since then the Kbz has seen a few new guys come and go. With only a handle full of players left from 2006, 07 would prove to be another successful year. Captain Scotty P moved into the coaching staff and impressively guided the team to winning the Telecom Plate over Christchuch and also retained the Seaside sheild from Sumner.
2008 saw a lot of players return for another year and stepping into coaching role with Scotty was Club stalwart James Lamb. With a strong core of guys the Kbz went all the way to semi finals, eventually losing to the winners but still a season to be proud of.
2009 has seen only a handful return, some moved to Europe, some promoted to the seniors and some to Prem colts. Some new arrivals include John Huggies, Cobb, Big Davey Butt and Jake the snake.
The Kbz would like to also thanks all the supporters who come down every saturday to watch, you know who you are, thanks heaps.
Before i give you the list of players that have doned the jersey this year let me just say.
