Futsal Team Reports :-

ET Navy Yr 3/4 won 9:0 vs Mornington AND Concord Player of the Days Angus R and Connor S
Great chasing by everyone and limiting the opposition the chance to score.  In both games in the last two weeks the opposition has not scored.  It is wonderful to see the improvement in our teams passing and striking of the ball.  Well done ET Navy!


ET White Yr 5/6  won 4:2 vs Green Island and 11:1 vs Opoho Player of the Day Finn and Brady An epic come back from 2 goals down to beat Green Island and an amazing team effort vs Opoho with every player scoring. In the Opoho game, their attitude and wonderful Fair Play towards a smaller team was outstanding. Their whanau and the school should be very proud on the way conducted themselves.


Flippa Ball Team Reports: -

ET Seals won 8:4 vs Columba
After a huge Fair day, the team came out positive and ready to rumble.  Well done to the team for their passing and their amazing defence.  Our players of the day were Chase who worked well in the goal and made some huge saves and Milly who never gave up, hassled their attacking players and showed good vision. 


A tough day at the pool for the ET Sharks going down to the Green Island Sharks who's team included a few giants. Some smart thinking on attack in the second half by Flynn L and Izaak K gave the team a few scoring opportunities which was an awesome effort under the circumstances.Player of the day: Flynn L

East Taieri Tigers Red drew 19 all.  Player of the day Fergus

East Taieri Tigers Black won 16 to 6.  Player of the day Angus
