Winter Sports Tournament
This year we entered three teams into the Mid Canterbury Primary Schools Winter Sports Tournament.
Year 5and 6 Netball Year 5 and 6 Rugby Year 7 and 8 Hockey.
Netball Team
Our Year 5/6 Netball team played really well and had heaps of fun. Although they didn't win any games, they showed great heart, a positive attitude and their skills improved with each game they played. Many of the opposition teams were made up of Saturday netball players, while 3 of our players have never played before, and they managed to hold the opposition to fairly low scores. Well done team - and a big thank you to Lisa who such a fabulous coach.
Rugby Team
Our Year 5/6 Rugby team exceeded all expectation by placing 2nd in their pool with 2 wins and 2 draws. They went on to contest the finals, where they placed 4th overall out of 10 teams. Many of the team play on Saturdays but there were a couple of "novices" who have never played competitive rugby against unknown opposition. Finishing 4th overall was an amazing achievement. A big thank you goes out to Matt who filled the "Steve Hansen Role" for our team.
Hockey Team
Four games played, four games won! Our Year 7and 8 Hockey team went through their tournament undefeated. This group of young people played so well, with such great enthusiasm and team work. We are really proud of these players and their effort. They showed great sportsmanship, supporting a neighbouring school while they had the "bye". Thank you must go to Kate for the superb coaching.
Now the hard work continues for this team as they go on to the Canterbury Primary Schools Winter Tournament Finals in Christchurch, later in the term.
