Ben gained a scholarship and will attend  St. Josephs College in Brooklyn, NYC to study and play Basketball.  Ben came to the Old Boys' to see if they would be able to help him live his dream of studying and playing Basketball overseas.    As the scholarship Ben received only covers part of his tuition costs, we asked for help from our Old Boys'.

Geoff Bates, President of the Old Boys' Society was pleased to present a cheque to Ben for $6920.  We would like to thank all those who donated to Ben's cause and we look forward to hearing from Ben on his progress in New York.

Torin put in a gutsy effort and a fine performance, however did not secure a podium finish.

Patrick competed in the Under 96kg and was awarded 4th place after a 98kg Snatch and a 125kg Clean and Jerk.

Lochlan competed in the Under 55kg (14 Years) class and was awarded the Gold medal. He also placed 2nd overall in the Under 15 boys’ competition with a 56kg Snatch and a 69kg Clean and Jerk.

The boys are now preparing for the New Zealand Secondary Schools Weightlifting Championships which are being held in Upper Hutt at the beginning of September.
