Volleyball BOPSS Girls Development Tournament – Tauranga
Volleyball BOPSS Development Tournament
Thursday 23rd November and Friday 24th November
We had three girls’ teams compete – our Year 9A, Junior C and Year 9B.
After a tough but very enjoyable two days of competition, our Year 9A girls were tied and on points countback, came second by 1 point overall. An amazing achievement, considering Matamata College Junior A team were in the tournament and they won the Waikato Junior SS Champs.
Well done to our Junior C and Year 9B girls for competing hard in every match and always having fun. It was a vibrant, colourful and extremely cheerful vibe to be around.

Volleyball BOPSS Development Tournament
Thursday 23rd November and Friday 24th November
We had two boys’ teams competing – our Year 10B and Year 9B.
After two long days of competing against strong oppositions, the talented Aquinas Boys Junior A team and a couple of teams out of our region – Gisborne Boys Y9 and Matamata College Boys, our Year 10B boys finished 3rd over all… whoop whoop!
We have to mention the battle between our two teams – after both winning a set each, the 3rd set didn’t disappoint, with the Year 10B winning by the smallest of margins, 15-13. Well done to the Year 9B for giving their all in every game!
