Papa te whaititiri ki runga o Rangiuru
Ko te uira kanapanapa tēnā i haukoti ai
E ngā hau pūkerikeri
Tēteko ana taku manu kākā kura, manu whakakea, manu whakakeka,
tū reikura ana taku manu tā kaha

What an awesome season we’ve had! 🎉 Our netball teams have shown so much growth out on the court this year.

A huge mihi and thank you to:
•Our amazing coache/management/umpiring crew and helpers who gave their time and energy every week.
•Our players, who trained hard, played with heart and represented us with pride.
•Parents, Grandparents and other family members and supporters who turned up rain or shine, cheering us on and keeping the spirit alive.

This season wasn’t just about winning games, but about whanaungatanga – building strong connections, manaakitanga – looking after each other, and having fun together.
While we would’ve preferred to acknowledge all players with a medal, we needed to pick 3.
MVP Makuini and Te Anarangi
Most improved: Lourdes and Jilliaire
Sportsmanship: Ngamarama and Ky-Marni
