Central Zones U45 Rugby 2019

On Thursday May 16th the U45 Rugby team competed in the Central Zones tournament at Memorial Park Mt Albert.

In pool play we played Royal Oak, St Peters and Kowhai and came through undefeated. We expected St Peters to be tough but Royal Oak turned out to be the toughest competitors.

We then went through to the final where we again played Royal Oak. After 4 games the boys were tired and the wind had become quite strong so we had a real battle but at the end we came out winners 15 - 5 and Central Zone Champs!!

We now travel to Inter Zones!

Central Zones Tag Rugby 2019

14 boys and 14 girls travelled to Cox’s Bay Reserve to take part in the Central/West tag tournament. Within the girls and boys sections, there were teams of a very high calibre.

The boys won five out of their six games but unfortunately, the boys' team lost a vital game against Manurewa Intermediate by 2 points. The boys played outstandingly and their teamwork surpassed all other teams. Not only were the boys outstanding on the field but also off, being commended by a parent from another school.
