Netball club in Rotorua. HISTORY

In 2008 our independent netball team "Toiariki" constituted and became an Incorporated Society; Manawatahi Sports Inc.

We have had successful seasons in the Rotorua netball league since 2006 and have built a very respectful reputation within Rotorua netball. Manawatahi "Toiariki" consistently represented at premier level. The name Toiariki - the pinnacle, something to strive for - is that of the business of our clubs original sponsor:Toiariki Contemporary Maori Art - a Ta Moko business owned and operated by Mr Ri

chard Francis. Richard Francis purchased our first uniforms and his sponsorship was fundamental in our union, stability and development. We have had two teams since 2008...once was "Karaunia" , "Professionals" and "Toiururoa" - the embracing ones. Currently our club is not sponsored and we now are simply known under our names "Manawatahi Green" and "Manawatahi Black" when we field 2 teams in a season. The club is run on a volunteer basis by Linda Page, with help from Ania Ehau and Rachel Matthews. We carry a sense of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and wairua that is unique - we bring together many hearts and together we are one…Manawatahi. Founding Members: Charz Wiperi, Chick Morrison, Richard Francis

Toiariki OG's: Charlene Wiperi, Deborah White, Nicola Smith, Trish Francis, Emma Redaelli, Stacey Warena (nee Manihera), Cherie Ngawhika (nee Tauroa), Dana Hikuroa, Jo Goosens, Lani Aperahama, Ada Hadfield, Jennifer Sandison

We've come to the end of our senior netball competition, with 2 Manawatahi teams: Green and Black. Congratulations to Rochelle the coach of the Manawatahi Black team (AKA John Paul College Rotorua - JPC Senior A team), for coaching them to victory in the Senior A Grade 2025. Another fabulous achievement by this young side was to receive the Highest Goal Aggregate Trophy for their efforts over the Championship Round - Congratulations everyone!
