Area Schools' Rugby Trials

Yesterday Bunny & I traveled over to Rotorua to watch Tawhai take part in the Area Schools' sports. He'd had a hard game of volleyball the night before, but he was a standout player in the Central NI team,playing as lock, a position he is not fond of. The weather turned pretty cold, & there were a couple of showers of rain during the game. Central lost their match to Northern, but they did some great work in the second half. Pretty good effort for their first outing together. The Northern team, however, looked as if they'd played quite a few times as a team. We had a long cold wait after the game, to hear who had been chosen from both teams, for a North Island squad to play an invitation team today. Selection for the final North Island squad will be made after today's game. Tawhai was very happy that he had been chosen for the next round. Great stuff. Kia kaha Tawhai. More pics on Picasa.
