Auckland 7's

Massive well done to all those who turned up on Tuesday to the Auckland 7's competition. It was always entered with the idea that it was a fitness exercise and i think in those terms it was very useful. I think we showed esepecially in the last game just how dangerous we can be when we keep the ball in hand and i thought the fitness work that we've been doing has really shown through both at the 7's and against Aorere College. Photos will follow shortly.

Captain for 2008 Announced

The captain for the 1st XV for 2008 will be Sipu Latu. Congratulations Sipu on being selected for this role. Both myself and Mr Gall believe that you will lead the team from the front and will prove to be an inspirational leader for the rest of the players. Well done.

Trial Games Squads

The squads for the 1st game against Aorere College appear below. They will also appear on the notice board outside my office. Please encourage your friends and family to come and watch the game. I really want to create a real atmosphere at our home games this year and this is a great opportunity to start that off. Remember this is a trial game and a cut will be made from the squad after the match so it is vital that you give it everything. Don't forget what we set out at the beginning of the year, performance around school is just as important as performance at training in terms of selection!!

Athletics..........

Great effort by everyone in the 3000m it was really pleasing to see the times that everyone posted and the effort that was put in. We'll be running the test once more just before the start of the season so lets make sure we keep working hard to get those times down even more. Athletics day was also pleasing especially the Snr boys 100m final which saw 5 members of the 1st XV training squad competing. Congratulations to all those involved, I thought you represented the team exceptionally well.

Training Continues.......

We move into March and now only 3 weeks away from our first game which is against Aorere College followed by a game against the Cook Islands U20 world cup squad. This will provide the team with a stern test and allow us to set some targets ahead of our season. The games will take place on the 19th of March and the 8th April at Papatoetoe High School.
