Kia ora to our Year 0-2 parents and Whānau,
Thank you for your overwhelming response to the upcoming Term 4 Touch tournament. Because of the amount of late entries and requests, we have had to make adjustments to the teams.
We apologize for any inconvenience but at the same time are grateful for the interest in our young tamariki wanting to give sport a go.
Instead of having up to 12 children in a team, we have entered a 3rd team to give more field time for our tamariki.
Please see attached the NEW teams.
