NORTH ISLAND SECONDARY SCHOOLS MIXED HOCKEY TOURNAMENT What a fantastic week of hockey we had in Taupo last week. This is the second time we have attended this competition. This year 17 teams from throughout the North Island competed. Our team did us proud both on and off the turf. We have been extremely fortunate to have highly skilled coaches for both the Girls and Boys teams (Mark Smithells and Isaac King) throughout the year, which then allowed for Tournament Coach Neil Watson to blend 9 boys and 6 girls for the tournament - no easy feat up against schools who play all season together. The team fought hard and only lost one game (and only by 1 goal) to end up 3rd in the North Island - an absolutely amazing achievement! Many thanks to parent helper Phillipa Fraser and chief photographer Chris Sutton and to all the supporters who travelled over during the week. The team looked smart in their hoodies and back packs. We were fortunate with the generosity of sponsors, John and Eva Hingston (hoodies) and individual hockey back packs (Lisa Crowe from Bayleys Real Estate).
