Unfortunately the U15's lost to Nelson U15A 29-20 but went on to play Selwyn U15A for 3rd and 4th which resulted in a 26-25 win to finish 3rd.

The U14's played Mid-Canterbury in their semi and won 22-19 to go on and play Canterbury Netball Centre U15 in the final. This was a close game with the result coming in the last quarter Canterbury winning 29-24.

U17's played their first tournament in Christchurch. In their first round they played 3 games for 2 wins and a draw. The second day saw a loss to Canterbury (eventual winners). Final game was against Invercargill for 3rd & 4th which resulted in a 32-29 win to South Canterbury. Sunday 17th they played a tournament in Timaru and had two wins from three games. There are still tournaments to come in Oamaru and Palmerston North.
