Girls’
This year we were lucky to have some great numbers once
again, for playing the fun winter sport of Football. We
had 4 full teams in local competition, which all did well in
their own divisions.
Our social team or 3rd XI had a great season, by winning
division 4 of the local competition.
We had two teams in division 2 and it was always interesting seeing the rivalry between the 2nd XI (made up of
mostly seniors) and the Junior A. These two teams had
some great game against schools like Sacred Heart and
William Colnisco. Not to mention playing each other.
These two teams ended up 2nd and 3rd overall.
I would like to thank Paula Edilson, Stephen Lowery,

Our Girls’ 1st XI team once again had a bit of mixed year,
which a few growing pains here and there, but with all of
the young fresh blood, they showed in local competition
that we were here to play and that we had a good team
even if the average age of the team is 15. This was shown
in the first game again CHB were we won 10-0. Sadly
these high scoring games were few but the winning on the
other hand was consistent throughout the season. However once again it was Napier and Hastings Girls high
schools teams which were our real competition.
We too had our share of injuries, asthma attacks, which
included a broken ankle (which wasn’t even a sports
related injury). But the team carried on, and with the help
of our coach Geoff Pyott we managed some great wins
including a great win against Napier Girls’ high School for
the Division 1 Shield. Sadly, this shield doesn’t mean that
we won the division. Where we ended up third overall.
