What a season it has been so far for the Senior A Netball team! First, they made it into the Premier A Grade, secondly, they won the Otago Secondary Schools Netball Championships, and, most recently they played an outstanding tournament at the South Island Secondary Schools Netball Championships in Timaru to secure third place and an entry ticket to the National Championships. Well done, team!

Columba (50) vs St. Peters College (12)

Well done to all members of Senior A Netball for a bright 2022 season. Players, Coaches, Managers, and of course all families, friends and supporters who work behind the scenes to encourage, uplift and support our team - we thank you. 

We wish you all the very best for the upcoming National Championships in Porirua, 11 - 14 October 2022. Keep training and reaching for your goals. Go well, Senior A!
