Congratulations to Deputy Head Prefect, Oscar Cameron for his NZ U16 Boys selection call up over the summer holidays.
Oscar joined fellow King’s team-mate, Dylan Pledger at the recent training camp in Auckland where the boys underwent an intensive adjusted competition (U16 Domestic Series) against some of the countries best Men's clubs and provincial Men's teams in late January.
The wins and losses were narrowly contested with Dylan Pledger being rewarded ‘Most Valuable Player in the whole Domestic Series for the NZ U16 Boys Team.
