It was an unforgettable flag football showdown that took over the Paeroa Domain on November 16 – the L&P Bowl.
The inaugural event of flag football, a non-contact, fast-paced version of American Football, saw the Tauranga City Tridents claim victory against the North Harbour Pride from Auckland, in four out of five divisions.
The L&P Bowl, named tongue-in-cheek after the famous local soft drink, marked the first full-club bilateral between the two sides, with games played across men’s, women’s and legends (35+), U14, U12, and U10 divisions.

For this table setting, we’ve taken our Christmas centrepiece and reimagined it paired with sculptured candles.
