This Week in Sport

Hockey

Our Hockey 1st XI took out the final against OB’s in a nail-biting penalty shootout. Fantastic effort from the whole team building throughout the entire season - eyes now forward to the Rankin cup - National tournament with the top 32 school teams in the country.

Our U15 hockey boys showed great determination in the Div 2 Secondary Schools competition, narrowly going down to OB’s 2nd XI stacked with Year 13 players. Their commitment and effort throughout the season have been an inspiration.

Rugby

The Year 7/8 rugby team enjoyed a sunny day on the field against Trinity, with all boys getting stuck in and having a great time. Trinity took the win this year, but we’re already looking forward to the rematch next season.

Cross Country

Ariki Cup X-Country at Kettle Park our squad came 2nd to Tahuna overall - the boys are now looking forward to the Otago Champs.

Ice Luge

The New Zealand natural ice luge season recently wrapped up in Naseby with some success for JMC boys.
