Regional Seeding Tournament 2011
We took two teams of Yr 11 & 12 players to the Nationals for the first time this year. We needed to place in the top four teams in this tournament to gain a seeding inside the top 32 teams for the Nationals.
It was extremely disappointing for the A team to finish 5th and miss out on a place in the top 32. Both A and B teams will travel to Palmerston North for Nationals to compete in Division 3 and 4. A huge thank you to Mr Craft for coming away with us and supporting the boys.

The last game against Otumoetai was playing off for 11th and 12th place in Division 3 (43rd/44th overall). We played steadily and although this game went to a deciding
fifth set we felt that we were in control of the match and closed it out to finish the season on a good note.
Vs Kawerau won 3-1
Vs Long Bay lost 0-3
Vs Otumoetai C won 3-2
Finishing 11th in Division 3 and placed 43rd Nationally

The B Team was virtually the Junior Team from last year.
Vs Elim College won 3-2
Vs Rotorua Lakes lost 1-3

Vs Te Puke (playoff 3rd/4th) lost 0- 3
The B team can be pleased with their tournament and season. All players steadily improved and they were never over-awed by stronger and more experienced opposition. They all realise what they need to do to improve their own games so that they can compete for places in the A team.
