Netball - competing at UNISS at Howick Pakuranga courts and have had several very close games and 1 draw so far with the team improving and playing some great Netball. Plenty of Netball to still be played with games v Long Bay and Katikati today.

Football Boys' 1st XI - competing in Whangarei, this team had had 2 wins and 2 losses so far and are playing some great football to match. Year 9 student Mikey Judd chimed in with 2 goals in yesterday's victory. Today they have 2 games with the first v Whangapaoroa.
