Our Boys team that came 2nd were a team made up of 1st and 2nd XV boys that played extremely well only coming together for the day. 

A few of our sevens players were injured and unable to take part and are also part of our NZ Champs of Mixed Touch preparing to defend their title in December. 

A Big thanks goes to Dylan Bowater and Griffin Culver for Coaching the boys and Denning Tyrell and Cherie Cowan-Puru for coaching and managing the girls.

All the best in recovery after getting injured to Tuupuhi Karaitiana and Apenisa Kuruwaca.

Awesome result everyone!
