Congratulations to Riley Stewart, Sam and Paddy O’Neill for making the tournament team. We will award your medals and trophies at Summer Sports Assembly.

A big thank you to the Coaches Cooper Stewart and Jackson Old who did a wonderful job over the tournament. A big thank you to Susan Crosbie and Pip Stewart for their fantastic management and feeding of the boys over the weekend, without your help this tournament would not have been possible.
