Canterbury Winter Tournament

Lance Muller —

Our Hockey and Netball teams flew the Yr 7/8 flag at this prestigious event. 

See what the players had to say about their tournament experience. 

Hockey:

  • This was very fun and I liked how we all worked together even though we hadn't practiced together apart from the Zones Tournament that we got third in. We placed quite highly considering that there were a lot of teams in our pool. We tied for third. (Sophie)

  • It was an extraordinary day at the Canterburys, I enjoyed all the fun that we had and it was a great experience for me for my last year here at Oaklands. We worked amazingly as a team and we were all so proud of coming third in our pool. (Tracy)

  • This day was a great experience for the team. We had only had one practice which was at the South West Zones. We went into Canterburys thinking we were going to get hammered but it turns out we could knock a few balls in the goal. Overall by the last game we were all working together as a team like we should. (Ashley)

Netball:

  • The winter tournament was a extraordinary experience for our team to get to know each other and how we play, everyone had an awesome time and had a lot of game time. This was a great practice for us to work as a team before the Koru Games because we haven't been able to practice that much at school. Therefore I think that our team has learnt how to work together and play like a team due to this experience. (Maddy L)

  • The winter tournament was a great thing to have before Koru Games as we haven’t had much time to practice and for some players it was their first time playing netball. As it was our first time playing games together we did amazing because we learnt how each other play together and we also know that we can win games if we work together. (Charlotte L)
