Terena Molloy —

Our Saints team were our only school team that went through to the finals this year.

The girls played against GHS Tawa team in the B Grade women’s finals on Saturday 29th August. Unfortunately, I was not there to see the game but from what I have been told it was a great game to watch. Our girls came away with an impressive 88-33 win. So, a big congratulations to our Saints team.


We also had a few more students that received trophies and awards for this year’s season.
