Emily Cooney, Kayla Proudfoot and Briar Craig were playing in the South Canterbury Under 15 girls team.  They had a great tournament coming away undefeated having wins over Eastern Southland 62-22, Southland 69-14 and Eastern Southland 48-11.

On Saturday they headed to Invercargill to play James Hargest Senior A Girls team.  They played a longer game and only lost 102-100.  A very high scoring game. This was great experience for the South Canterbury girls as they were playing older more experienced girls.
