What an incredible weekend away in Taupō for our Kaitake Junior Rugby Under 11s at the NZ Global Games Junior Rugby Festival.
The team finished the tournament with an impressive 4 wins from 5 games, finishing 4th overall in a very competitive U11 50kg Restricted division.
One of the highlights of the weekend was getting to meet and spend time with our buddy team, Auckland Grammar Juniors RFC, and how cool was it that Dan Carter’s son was part of their team! Such a special connection and a great memory for the kids.
A huge thank you once again to our amazing coaches Nick and Grant for the time, energy and commitment they have put into the team. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do.
Thank you also to all the organisers, volunteers and parents who helped make the weekend such a success, from the sidelines, transport, food, organisation and everything in between. These tournaments simply don’t happen without the amazing support around our kids.
And to all our Kaitake parents, you should be incredibly proud of your kids. They represented Kaitake with pride, worked hard, supported each other and gave everything on the field. More importantly, they had fun, made memories and built friendships that will last well beyond the rugby field.
4 wins, 1 loss and 4th overall, what an effort!
Well done kids, you did Kaitake proud.
