The HGHS Junior Premier 7s team has had a busy couple of weeks! They competed in the Chiefs Regional Champs (Year 9 and 10 tournament) at Hamilton Old Boys Rugby Club on Friday 22nd November against other schools around the Chiefs Region.

Our team went undefeated at this tournament, progressing to the finals where they bet Kaokaoroa, winning the Chiefs Regional Cup, bringing home a big trophy! 

Fast forward to a week later, the Junior Prems team played an impressive six games on the road to the Condors Sevens finals.

The team started strong with a dominant win against Otumoetai, 36-0. Their next game was a tough battle against Fielding, where the team narrowly lost 19-28. The team had to win their final pool game against Mount Albert Grammar to progress to the quarter-finals. This was an incredibly hard fought match between the two teams that ended in a 12-12 draw. Hamilton Girls' advanced on points, which placed the team second in their pool and secured a place in the quarter-finals. 

In the quarter-finals, the team came up against Napier. Our girls showed incredible determination and mana, scoring on the hooter to take out a thrilling 15-10 victory to move to the semi-finals. 

Our team faced Manukura in the semi-finals which was always going to be a challenging game, as they are one of our biggest opponents. Despite our girls best efforts, the team fell short and played off for 3rd/4th place. 

In their final game, the girls left everything on the field. They scored a brilliant try, pushing themselves to their limits, but Fielding fought back in the final minute to win 28-21. Our team finished in 4th place at the Condor Sevens. This is an incredible achievement and we are so proud of their efforts, determination and teamwork. Well done HGHS!
