Futsal
Futsal is a variant of football that is played on a
smaller field and played indoors. It can be considered
a version of five-a-side football. This year Havelock
North High School had a huge growth in Futsal going
from five teams last year to eleven teams this year.
Havelock North High School had four senior boys
teams entered into the intercity competition. These
consisted of two Year 11 teams Ryan Birkett, Jack
Broughton, Mitchell Keip, Liam Morgan, Sam Norfolk,
Blake Williams, Ice Boonyung, Asher James, Ben
Kemp, Ben McCallum, and Andre Sheeran. One Year
12 team Ashley Arquette, Logan Bensemann, Andrew
Breen, Brigham Fraser, Vincent Haidekker, Rogan
McNamara and Cameron Webber, and a Year 13
team Joshua Driver, Dan Fridd, Sean Gates, Philippe
Grooby, Guy Sanders, Leon Sickenburg and Nick
Wilkey.
At the beginning of the year we had four junior boys
teams, HNHS Cyclones – Brad Calder, Anton Edilson,
Cameron Lee, Jez Reeves, Liam Shackleton, Tom
Smith and Brayden Webber – these boys played in
HB Futsal Youth Premier grade and finished 4th. HNHS
Maroon played in the HB Futsal Youth 1– Shaun Beattie, Arran Cargill-Brown, Ben Curtis, William Kimber,
Mitchell Kite, Ted Rainger, Jade’ Redman and finished
third. HNHS Kauri – Eden Brondel, Kaiyin Hardy, Alex
Hart, Finlay Keip, Josh O’Halloran, Harry Setter, Lewis
Sheeran, and Luke Smiley won the HB Futsal Youth
1 plate division. HNHS Throp - Ezias Clark, Robert
Curtis, Malachi Heyward, William Kelly, Josh Lawson,
Bradley Parslow, Eli Shaw Throp played in the HB
Futsal Youth 1 plate and did well to finish 6th as for
some of these boys it was their first season playing
futsal.
There were three girls teams entered in two different
grades. The HNHS senior girls, Ashley Arquette, Lauren Hartridge, Lulu Jordan, Zoe Lee, Sophie Pyott, Abbie Vose and Cheyenne Welsh won the A grade final
against a Port Hill team that they had not managed to
beat in the previous games. The HNHS Maroon Girls,
Ariana Lander, Vicky Markham, Amy Martin, Brooke
O’Brien, Kayla Redman, Monique Thomson, and
Nicola Ward, beat the HNI girls to come third in the B
Grade. The HNHS junior girls, Maggie Brunton, Tatum
Fletcher, Aishlin McIntyre, Eden O’Leary, Laura Somerville, Jenna Tidswell and Olivia Woolland won their final
in the B Grade on penalty shots. Thank you to all the
coaches/managers who supported the teams as for
many of them this was their first time.
