It has been an
extraordinary
season for our 2nd
XV Rugby team.
They played with an
outstanding style, set a
high standard of play
and showed a calm
determination during
high pressure moments
to finish 2nd overall in
their grade. There were
plenty of personal bests,
praying, singing, lots of
laughs and great team
spirit and so we are all
looking forward to next
season.
The team is very
appreciative of their
coach, Mr Willie Masters,
who took on the huge
task of guiding the
side, their manager
Mrs Parwati Reddy and
their amazing group
of faithful supporters.
Congratulations to the
players, coaches and
management on a
successful season!

played a total of
9 games, winning
5, losing 3 and

This year we had a

for the top 8 knockout
rounds, going down in the
quarterfinals.
This team was coached
by Joe Collins and Jon
Pearse, their manager
and Teacher-in-Charge
was Miss Tualaulelei and
the captain was Nofoaiga

u14’s boys rugby
girls (10-a-side) rugby
Coach: Matapo Nipu (exstudent)
Co-coach: Dee Marsters
(community)
Staff in charge: Ms A
Potini
Captain: Jasine Leo’Olo
The team was small in
numbers but not short on
talent, with injuries and
other commitments, the
players have found it very
frustrating and difficult
to cope within the winter
season of rugby.
Coach: Mr A Tuitupou
Staff in charge: Mr P
Campbell & Ms E McCosh
Captain: Josh Havili
The U14 rugby season
started with a hiss
and a roar with a large
squad toughing it out
at trainings. The pack
showed plenty of
humour and enthusiasm,
but a lot of new faces
also meant they had
plenty to learn.
