Pera Nelson made his debut for the First XI Hockey team in 2022 as a Year 11. Since then, he has become a mainstay in the defensive line. His formidable stature is an asset in shutting down opposition attacks, and his long-range passing creates numerous chances for the team's attacking players. Pera is a workhorse, often playing significant minutes in crucial games. He will play a pivotal role in any success the team experiences this year.
Quinn Harris made his debut for the First XI as a Year 10 in 2022. He is a skillful player who regularly entertains the crowd with his flair and X-factor. An attacking threat, Quinn often finds himself on the scoresheet with multiple goals. He has played representative hockey at the U18 level for Thames Valley and Waikato. With a season and a half left of school hockey, we eagerly anticipate what Quinn can achieve.
