​What a final! Marist St Michael’s U11s put on a absolutely awesome show of grit, heart, and pure determination last Saturday, bringing home the trophy with a sensational 54–51 victory! 🏉🔥

​Every single sprint, tackle, and training session came down to this moment, and our u11 team delivered when it counted most.

​To the legendary players: you played with absolute courage and pride.

To the incredible coaches and managers: thank you for leading the way.

🏉 Marist JAB – Let's Support Our Senior Men! 💙

This weekend our Marist Senior Men are playing their semi-final at Rotoiti.

The team would love to have our Marist JAB players there to support them. They are inviting all JAB players to wear their Marist uniform and run onto the field with the team before kick-off.

If your child can make it, please meet at the changing rooms by 2:40 pm so everyone is ready for the team run-on.

Let's get behind our senior team and show them the strength of the Marist whānau. We hope to see as many of you there as possible! 💙🏉
