Tennis was the winner on the day. The weather held for the first round of the doubles. Unfortunately Ray and Ashton were matched against the 2^nd seeds which resulted in a quick exit.

3^rd and bronze medal for our girls rugby with Khi and Georgia being named in the tournament team capped a fantastic rugby day at Waipuna Park. The drizzly weather did not deter our team who battled injuries to beat Tauranga Intermediate  33 – 0 in a complete display of attacking flair combined with defensive aggression in a playoff for 3^rd and 4^th. Earlier, we lost an unlucky game against Finlayson Park 17 – 15 and then another loss to the eventual winners Royal Oak Intermediate. Our team displayed real character to come back and win the playoff game in style.

Overall, the tournament has been an outstanding success for us. Our swimmers, notably Bronson who was named male swimmer of the meet for Division Two, did exceptionally well. We would like to acknowledge Adele Lloyd for her expertise in managing the swimmers. The rugby team was well coached by Meyer Goosen and they finished fantastically well. The support for the team from parents was great. Thanks to Paul, Danial, Jason and Angela for the extra help. The tennis players enjoyed the competition against higher ranked opponents and put up a fine showing.

We are travelling tomorrow and are looking forward to the comforts of home. We expect to be at school between 3 and 4pm.
