Another week in January and another couple of MASSIVE results for our age group rep teams.

Down in Lincoln our U17 Boys did us proud by taking out the National Tournament with some dominant displays and tight throughout the week.

Meanwhile in Palmerston North our U17 girls dominated the round robin just to fall at the final hurdle against Wellington. Still, runners up is a superb result and they've done us proud again this season.

Congrats to both teams plus the brilliant coaches that led them this year.

Our Rep Team results this year:

U19 Men - Champions
U19 Women - Champions
U17 Men - Champions
U17 Women - Runners Up
