UNISS 2016 at Papakura Netball Centre

Our senior netball team are staying at the Formosa Golf Resort for the week to attend the Upper North Island Secondary School Netball Championships

The week started off with a rainy, but successful day. Two convincing wins on Monday against Lynfield and Otumoetai cemented the team's place in the top 16 of B grade. A shaky start on Tuesday morning with a loss to St Dominic's meant we finished 2nd in the pool play to go through to top 16. An exhilarating final game, finishing with an awesome come-back from several goals down, to finish with a 2 goal loss, but a 1 point bonus, ended the day on a complete high. All the girls are in good spirits and looking forward to the upcoming games.


The girls will have 2 games per day for the duration of the week, finishing on Friday.

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.

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
