Orca on the Water

Wentworth sailors were excited to be visited by a pod of Orca while on the water at Gulf Harbour last night.  What a memory!

Anniversary Weekend Sailing Success

Wentworth sailors had a great weekend on the water over Anniversary weekend.  Sean Herbert (Y10) took the top place in the Auckland Starling Championships, and Oliver Reeves (Y11) achieved a 6th place in the Laser Class at the Auckland Anniversary Regatta.  Well done!

Wentworth Sailing Success - December 2015

Four Wentworth Sailors entered the largest centreboard regatta in the southern hemisphere on December 5th and 6th, the Sir Peter Blake Regatta. Every sailor was given a pair of red socks in commemoration of the 20th anniversary since Sir Peter himself wore them and brought the Americas Cup to NZ.
All four sailors were sailing in relatively new boats to them personally and had incredible results. Sailing conditions were perfect on both days.

Harper Johnston achieved a Silver in Starling Green, Sean Herbert a Silver in Starling Open, Oliver Reeves 24th and Liam Herbert 26th in the Laser Radial class against Olympic sailors.

UNISS Update - final results

Huge congratulations to our Premier Netball girls.  Coach, Tania Cargo, says the girls have played some fantastic netball this week and, after one win and one loss in the semi-finals today, the girls have moved up a grade, qualifying to compete in the 'B' grade at UNISS next year.  With only the top 3 from 32 in a division, it was no mean feat.  An awesome effort from a very committed and talented team.

UNISS Update - Day 4

After battling through 2 very tough games and some atrocious weather today, our Premier Netball girls have made it through to the Top 4 at UNISS.  Tomorrow sees the semi-finals in the morning and the finals in the afternoon and we wish them all the best.  Go Wentworth!!

UNISS update - Day 3

The Premier Wentworth Netball Team are continuing their winning streak at the UNISS Tournament in Hamilton, having just completed their 6th win from 6 games to date.  Well done, girls!

Intermediate Netball

The Intermediate Netball had a very tough game on Thursday, losing by a small margin to Whangaparaoa. However, they have another chance against this team in their Grade final coming up this week!  The game will be as tough as last week, but with all the hard work that the girls have put in, we all know it is something that can be achieved! Bring on Thursday!

Netball game reports

North Harbour Premier
The Premier team had an incredible week with their games! Playing against Whangaparaoa, our friends off court and huge competitors on court, the girls gave a great display of team work and trust in each other. Wentworth won 36 to 31, and held the lead for the entire game.

HBC Team 1
To finish the Wentworth Team 1/NH Premiers' week off on even more of a high, they won their semi-final against RnB Angels, for the Hibiscus Coast Premier competition. This puts the team in the final for Premier 1 next Saturday. All our hard work is starting to pay off!

North Harbour Intermediate
This team are punching well above their weight this season. With a team of four Year 8s and six Year 7s playing in a Year 8 grade, we are unbeaten for the entire season placing us at the top of our grade. All the girls are working extremely hard and developing their Netball skills amazingly. Well done girls, this will be a great experience for AIMS.

Netball North Harbour Team 2

Over the weekend, Team 2 won their game 23-18 against Westlake 9, lifting the team to the Number 1 spot on the table!  Having lost a game against Westlake 9 in Term 2 by just one goal, this win shows the determination and improvement in the team, with players giving it their all right from the very first whistle. Congratulations girls!

Netball North Harbour - Team 2

Team 2 won our game 28-19 against Hobsonville point Team 1.  Wentworth played to the rainy conditions, and considering two of our stronger players were out, we did exceptionally well.

Netball North Harbour - Team 1

Following the loss of 3 of our players to the Queenstown ski trip, Wednesday's game against Carmel 1 was tough for everyone. An amazing final quarter where we pulled back 6 goals meant we only lost by 14. I was very proud of the way we all held our heads high and fought till the end! It was a great learning experience for us all.  Rosie Reeves

Netball North Harbour - Intermediate Team

The Wentworth Intermediate Netball team won Thursday's game against Murrays Bay 19-14.  The players demonstrated fierce determination and hard work to win despite being one player short. Congratulations to the two Players of the Day, Mia Boot & Natasha Coutts, who worked their combination of GA & GS superbly well with consistent goals from great feeds through the court. An impressive all round effort.  Well done girls.

Intermediate Netball

Another very good game for the Intermediate Netball team last week, winning 22-17 against Kristin.  It was a good, fair game with both teams playing some excellent netball. Congratulations to Millie Wilton (Player of the Day) for her excellent work and on-form shooting.  Also worthy of mention are Samantha Baranyai for excellent defence and Paige Robinson for intercepts.  Amanda Walbran

What a fantastic Round 1 for the Intermediate team! Winning every single game this half has placed the girls 2nd in their grade, meaning they go up to 'championship' which is the top 6 of their grade. Congratulations on your amazing performances so far, Intermediate girls!
