Waitaki Boys' High School fullback Bryden Skinner offloads the ball in the tackle of King's High School's Jack Clements at King's High School in Dunedin yesterday.

King's lock Isi Veikoso is powerless to prevent the pass, while Paddy Henwood is in support on the right.

The game, which Waitaki won 29-27, was part of an inter-school sports day and doubled as an Otago premier schools match. King's missed a late penalty which would have given it the win.

While the home team lost the senior rugby it won the inter-school tournament 9-4. King's won both senior and junior football and basketball matches and also won the smallbore shooting, but split the debating contests. Waitaki cleaned up in the badminton and won the under-15 rugby match.
