Following a below average season in 2015, the Senior Thirds made it through to the semi-finals after overcoming a poor start to the season in which they lost more games that they won in the first phase of their competition.
The mid-season improvement by the Thirds was attributable mainly to the return of some seasoned players and the arrival of some new faces, all of whom started to gel better as a team as the season wore on. In their semi-final against Coastal at Okato, the Thirds were in the hunt right up till the end of the match, eventually being pipped by the hosts 14-18.
