ROLLESTON College’s<br />
senior A netball team will be<br />
looking to make history at<br />
the South Island secondary<br />
schools tournament after their<br />
impressive SuperNet Reserve<br />
season came to a close last<br />
week.<br />
Rolleston go into next week’s<br />
South Island tournament<br />
in Invercargill with a 17th<br />
seeding in the B grade, after<br />
they recorded their best finish<br />
last year.<br />
The team will be wanting<br />
to improve their ranking,<br />
on the back of the SuperNet<br />
Reserve and <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s premier<br />
2 finals.<br />
Rolleston were unable<br />
to repeat their previous<br />
success against Rangi Ruru<br />
A in Wednesday’s SuperNet<br />
Reserve final, going down<br />
28-22.<br />
The team also suffered a 33-<br />
27 loss on Saturday in a tight<br />
battle against Burnham B in<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s premier 2 final.<br />
However, making both finals<br />
were a massive milestone for<br />
Rolleston.<br />
After being promoted<br />
to SuperNet Reserve, they<br />
went on to win all but one<br />
game leading up to the final.<br />
Rolleston also won 10 out of<br />
12 round-robin games in the<br />
premier 2 competition.<br />
Due to their second-place<br />
finish in SuperNet Reserve,<br />
Rolleston will play in next<br />
year’s SuperNet qualifying<br />
tournament for the first time.<br />
The tournament sees<br />
the top-three teams from<br />
the reserve grade play the<br />
bottom three SuperNet sides<br />
for a place in Canterbury’s<br />
top competition for school<br />
netballers.<br />
