UNISS 2023

This year Miss Lloyd, Coach Kuga and Aunty Amie took ten girls to the Hamilton Netball Centre to face off against schools from all over the Upper North Island. 

The girls worked hard all throughout term 2 and 3 putting in extra sessions to prepare for the week-long  schedule. Despite travelling to and from school on the first two days, the girls won 3 out of their 4 games which placed them well going into the second half of the week.

Wednesday brought some tough match ups, but on Thursday the girls bounced back and were able to play on one of the featured courts and be broadcast live on Maori TV Youtube. (click the video below to watch their match against Waiheke). On the final day, a group of supporters from school turned up to give the girls a boost, then the girls finished up playing Hamilton Girls Inv. for the second time.

Overall the girls had a great week full of ups and downs, but they put out a performance they can be proud of. Special mention goes to the Chapman sisters who were both selected in the Tournament team, and also to Year 9 Charneeqkwa Tofilau who stepped up into the Senior team.
