The Wanganui Year 8 representative team had a lot of stiff competition at the weekend but still finished runner-up at the Intermediate tournament in Palmerston North at the weekend.
Netball Wanganui's Year 7 also competed at the same event and came third in their grade.
Year8 coach Te Ora Nyman was ecstatic with her team's efforts, considering both captain and shooter Imogen Flower and goal defender Shanice Campbell were battling the flu.
Wanganui beat home team Manawatu in their first game 26-24, then had a comfortable 27-18 win over Taranaki.
Motu Kairangi, who have been their nemesis team this season, edged past Wanganui 25-22 to finish out the day.
