Rugby League Field Day
An excellent day was had at Rutherford College for the League Field Day with our team well supported by a good number of parents, in brilliant sunshine. Our team played well winning four of the five games but due to the nature of the draw finished 5th.
Players of the Day: Ethan Poi and Manaia Matafeo.
Special mention to the Captain, Alex Gilbert who lead by example all day!
The boys involved in the over 50kg combined team finished 1st equal. Thanks to Mr Pilkington for organising the day and Mr Siaki for coaching the team.
