BOP WASPS Select Y8 Aquinas Player

Aquinas College —

Congratulations go to Y8 rugby talent Owen McNamee. After a stellar performance in the Tai Mitchell Rugby Tournament, he won selection to the BOP WASPS Development Rugby team!

Keen on any forward position, Owen was named in the Tai Mitchell ‘Team of the Tournament,’ securing him a spot at the recent WASPS trial. Comprised of the top BOP Y7 and Y8 players, the WASPS representative squad will take on other regions. (The team will take on King Country South in Taupo next month.) A fantastic achievement Owen, well done!

And a round of applause for Owen’s Aquinas Tai Mitchell teammate, Liam Gaffney (Y8), who was also invited to trial for the Wasps.
