Congratulations to: Joseph Wingrove

Some great results this season for Joe who has been playing rugby in the schools competition. Joe was selected for North Harbour U17’s Maori Team.
He has spent his last few weekends playing tournaments and has been selected to play for the Northern U17’s team to represent the Upper North Island Maori against the lower North Island Maori teams. What a great achievement.

To top it off Joe was picked to be Captain for the previous tournament which he fulfilled with his God given talent. This is such a fantastic achievement and we are very proud of you Joe.
