Today’s match may not have gone our way, but one thing’s for sure – the spirit of our girls’ netball team remains unshaken! 💪
Despite a tough loss, the team showed incredible heart, grit, and a never-say-die attitude that truly defines who we are. Every pass, shot, and intercept was a reflection of their resilience and unity.
Under the dedicated guidance of Coach Jase, their growth is undeniable. Week by week, their skills sharpen and their teamwork strengthens – and today was no exception. Their communication and ability to work together to outsmart the opposition was inspiring to watch.
Each game is a step forward, a chance to learn, and this team is fully embracing that journey. 💯 The support from our incredible sideline crew – parents, whānau, and friends – creates an uplifting atmosphere that fuels every player on the court.

Over the weekend, they faced a tough opponent in Hamilton Girls’ High, with the final score 30–20 in favour of Girls’ High. While it wasn't the outcome we were aiming for, there were plenty of positives to take from the match.
