ŌTC Netball Camp
We had a brilliant day at our Netball Camp on Saturday 2nd May.
We established our ŌTC Academy Culture, through the collaboration of age groups to share their values and beliefs. The players applied this towards our ABL activities to problem solve, communicate effectively and constructively work together.
From this, a positive ŌTC Netball Culture VIBE was created.
Excitingly, the season has started with a strong foundation for the teams to launch from.
2026 Rugby season is underway 🏉🔥
A huge opening day for our Barbarians teams, with both the 1st XV and U14s showing grit, pride, and plenty of promise.
💥 1st XV
Barbarians 32 – 22 Te Taumata
A composed performance to start the season, building nicely across the park and finishing strong.
⚡ U14s
Barbarians 45 – 47 TBC North
A tough one to take, but an incredible battle right to the final whistle – plenty to be excited about.
Proud of the effort, the connection, and the way both teams represented the jersey. This is just the beginning.
A big thank you to our sponsors @marshallinnovationsnz , @paknsave.cameron.road and @markfrancis_realestate for their continued support 🙌
Barbarians Rugby
Our Barbarians Rugby teams were in action over the weekend, not only on the pitch, but also in the community through the Good Neighbour firewood initiative.
On Sunday, players, coaches, managers, and parents spent the day giving back, supporting Good Neighbour by delivering firewood to those in need across our community.
In total, more than 30 cubic metres of firewood was delivered using a range of vehicles and trailers.
Great mahi, awesome teamwork – All In.
