As a team, we placed 7th overall and 4th in the Eastern Region Clubs, right behind Omanu, Mount Maunganui, and Midway. An incredible achievement, with all the hard training paying off big time! Our U15s continue to gain valuable experience, with Nationals just five weeks away. Exciting times ahead for this talented squad.
