Netball
The 2019 Karamu High School netball season has yet again been successful. This year we had nine teams, of which eight played in the Saturday competition and one in the super 12 competition, which played on Tuesdays. For Karamu A, we started off strong making it to the top six in the first round but played against much more experienced and developed teams and we were then put into the middle grade and finished placing 8th. This year we finished two placings lower than our previous year.
We were extremely happy to have three juniors in the team so we could develop their skills for future years to come. This team put in the hard work and persevered, not only physically and mentally on the netball court, but in trainings also. The Karamu A team has so much potential and we hope that in future years the team does not only maintain their position in the Super 12 competition but improves it’s placing. The Karamu senior B team (Tasman), had a very challenging season, placing 4th in the Saturday competition. Cook took out 1st place in their Saturday grade, which is a huge achievement. They also travelled to Palmerston North for the Mike Pero Manawatu Junior School Tournament where they faced some hard teams but, despite that, still managed to come out with 2nd place - very impressive.
