Under 12s – Joe Diederich, Shane Colton, Bryce Cummings

Heartland Team – Tim Priest, Kody Thompson, Tipene Haira, Chris Raymond, James Bruce (Technical Advisor & Trainer).

Well done also to Jackson Didsbury, Bulvye Flutey, Phaelyn Hawkins, Josh Smith, Drew Tayles and Charlie Taylor. These boys were selected to be part of an Under 10 Development Squad. They will play two “North vs South” games, this will be their first time playing on a full field, the experience will give them an idea of what to expect next year playing 15 aside.

Prize Giving is to be held on Saturday 12 September, we will start with JAB presentations from 5-6pm, 6-7pm BBQ, 7pm Senior team photo, 7.30pm Senior & Club presentations. All members, families and supporters are welcome to attend.

Thank You to the New Zealand Racing Board who have granted us $1800 to purchase 6 ½ size tackle bags, the seniors and JAB both look forward to unpackaging these and putting them to use next season!
