In Auckland, at the NZSS Tournament, the team finished 12th out of 20 teams. They achieved the following results: vs Tauranga Boys' 3 -16, vs Westlake Boys' 5 -12, vs Macleans College 5 - 6, vs Northcote 11 - 6, vs Auckland Grammar 5 -17 and HBHS Black 4 - 7.

The team would like to thank coaches, Geordie Chapman and Matthew Lander, and manager, Kelly McDiarmid, for all of their assistance. 

We look forward to watching these young players develop their skills over the next few months.
