Last week Te Ariki Te Puni captained the PNBHS U16 rugby team at the Quadrangular tournament in Hamilton. This tournament was hosted by St Paul’s Collegiate, with teams from Hamilton Boys’ High School and Sacred Heart College (Auckland) also competing. The team fought hard, but unfortunately, did not manage a win. However, two of the matches were tightly contested and it gave our coaches an opportunity to see a number of players who may be considered for the 1st and 2nd XV in 2016.
Te Ariki captained the side in an outstanding
manner, and for this, he was named by the coaches from the other participating
schools as the Best Forward of the tournament. Congratulations Te Ariki, you
are a young man of outstanding character.
