This young team has been training twice a week with their sights set on competing at Junior Nationals in Auckland later this year. Well done to those girls who were on time, put the net up and down, stood in the way of volleyballs flying at them! and for being FOCUSED.

BOYS CRICKET

The senior boys had a great couple of games in this years Gillette Cup beating Tokoroa High School comprehensively and then suffering a narrow loss to Trident High School from Whakatane. Trident play weekly in the Bay of Plenty Mens Competition. We were able to restrict them to 99 runs which was the first time that they have scored less than a hundred. Trident have become the regional champions and now progress to the National Finals so I am very pleased with how we performed against them.
The Junior boys fought hard to win narrowly by 11 runs over Putaruru College and had a comfortable win against Tokoroa High School. I am grateful for the parental support that these teams have had. Thank you very much.

SUMMER SPORTS WIND-UP

Touch
This is a rebuilding year for us with many of last years’ team having left school.
At the Waikato Regional competition in Hamilton on the 14th we had only 4 of last years’ team available and all players really had to step up to the challenge.

Kale and Isaac controlled the mid’s while Chelsea continued in the top form that she showed playing for the BOP Open Mixed team at the Nationals the week before. Halena proved to all that she was ready to play link and was just waiting for her big sister to leave. The new players quickly adapted to their new roles and the fast pace of the game and improved with every game.

Our new young team had an excellent day and reached the finals and only lost in overtime in a drop off situation.
This success qualified them to play in the Zone competition which was held at Linton Park in Rotorua last Saturday, where the top 3 teams from the Waikato and the top 3 from the BOP met in an attempt to qualify for the Nationals in December.
FV’s first game was up against Edgecumbe and the 8 – 6 win wasn’t pretty but shook out the cobwebs and got the team ready for their game against Taupo-nui-a-tia, the BOP champions. Good team work by all saw FV win 9 - 7. The semi’s found us up against our old rivals St Peters who had beaten us in the Waikato Champs. Their team is a very experienced senior team but our young team took it to them and finished up with a 4 - 3 win in an excellent game.
The final was against Taupo again but this time they came out on top.

It was good to have Trae and Samone back and well done to our juniors Anton, Dylan, Jake, Leah and Taina who showed just how much you can learn in a short time if you are willing to work hard.

Tennis
Congratulations to Sarah Hemming & Amy Nicholson who won the Consolation Plate at the Waikato Secondary Schools Girls Tennis Championship in the Under 15 Doubles Division, held last Friday at Dey Street in Hamilton.
Despite facing an early exit from the competition, Rylee McMullen and Bronte Giles played well against their more experienced opponents.

Swimming
An enthusiastic group of swimmers travelled to Hamilton on Wednesday to compete at the Waikato Secondary Schools Swimming Championships.
Congratulations to the Girl’s team who were placed 16 out of 24 teams and the Boys were placed a commendable 12 out of 29 when all points were added up at the end of the day.

Rugby
All teams have started training and it is important for all players to attend training. If you are unable to make it please let your coach know.
Thank you to the following people who will be coaching our teams and to the staff members attached to each team.
• 1st XV Kim Harris Ian Ferguson / Iwi Bennion
• U16 Kotiau Joseph Lionel Matenga
• U15 Ben Kohath Sally Cribb
• U14 Brian Nicholas Ian Ferguson
• Girls Jay Curtis & Chelsea Alley Latisha Kelly
We still need people to assist our coaches as this is a huge job for one person to do on their own. If you are able to help coach or manage one of the teams, please contact either Ian Ferguson or Iwi Bennion during school hours.
Competition starts for the 1st XV on Saturday April 24th and all other grades will begin on 1st May. Girls rugby will start later in May.
