On Thursday last week, our Year 7-8 team competed in the Kī - o - Rahi ki Tamatea tournament at Russell Park, Waipukurau. It was a much better day than the Year 5-6s had on the Tuesday with the wind staying away!!

Our team of Lucy, Lea, Ottilie, Ella, Sophie, Teagan, Regan, Callyn, Drayus, Jayce, Emmett, and Archer had a fantastic day, winning three of their pool games against Ōtane, Porangahau, and Waipukurau 2 and losing two to Waipawa and eventual champions Takapau. In the quaterfinals, they lost to Waipukurau 1 with the game being neck and neck up until the final quarter with Waipukurau scoring a couple of late touch downs to take the game.

I was impressed with the attitude and manaakitanga our team showed and with the way they played as a team. A big shout to our captain for the day Lucy who showed admirable leadership skills and a great understanding of the game.

CONGRATULATIONS to Lea who was named in the tournament team and as such as been selected to represent Ngāti Kahungunu ki Tamatea in the U13 grade to compete at the Aotearoa Kī - o - Rahi Nationals in December 🙌
