West Cluster Sevens

Hockey

GO TAURIKO! There was lots of cheering for the three Tauriko teams. These teams were Tauriko, Tauriko 1 and Tauriko 2. Tauriko was the year 5 team, Tauriko 1 was the year 6 team and Tauriko 2 was the year 5 and 6 team. Boom Clack SCORE and the crowd goes wild. It was a very fun day everybody had a blast. We sadly had 3 injuries one was Wiki where she got whacked in the face with a hockey stick and ball, another one is where Darragh got hit on his temple with a hockey stick and the last one was where Ally’s sore ankle rolled and it really hurt her. Oropi won out of the year 6's and Greenpark won out of the year 5's but Tauriko year 5 team came 2nd!

Netball

For 7’s Netball we were split into 2 teams of 9 people, Tauriko 1 and Tauriko 2. For the 1st game we played against our own school as we had two teams, Tauriko 1 won. It was a hot, sunny day and some people poured water all over themselves. We played Merivale, Pyes Pa, Gate Pa, Greerton and Oropi. Pyes Pa and Merivale tied first. We all think it was a good tournament all together, although we didn’t win, it was still fun.

Rugby

On the 3rd of September 2014 we had West Cluster Sevens rugby. We played at Greerton Marist Rugby Club. After a fail attempt to mould Riley’s mouth guard we played our first game against Pyes Pa. They played dirty and shirt grabbed us. Unfortunately we lost 19-12. Soon we played Gate Pa, which was a pretty good team. We lost 48-31. Next was Greerton Village. We lost 60-12. Next we played Greenpark. We lost 42-7. We lost all of our games but we still had fun.

Soccer
On the 3rd of September 2014 the 7s soccer team organised themselves into cars and departed for Morland Fox Park, where the sun was baking. We arrived and had a briefing. The referees were from Tauranga Intermediate and they went over the rules. The opposing schools where Greerton Village, Greenpark, Gate Pa and Pyes Pa. All three Tauriko teams were first up first. Mrs van Dijk was cheering everyone on. In the end it was was a good fun day with only the year six team getting a place. They got second by only one goal in goal differential. Everyone would like to do it again. Go Tauriko!
