After months of training, fundraising and game time the Bay of Plenty under-15 boys' touch team will compete at the NZ Junior Nationals touch tournament to be held in Christchurch on February 12-14.
Bay of Plenty is sending four under-15 and three under-17 teams plus a group of referees to
the nationals with a contingent of around 120 players/managers and officials.
The Bay of Plenty under-15 team is made up of five players from Rotorua, six from Whakatane and two from Tauranga. Eight of the players return from the previous season when they made the finals but unfortunately had to settle for a silver medal.
The team's aim of this week is to move through pool play and then on to finals.
They want to extemd a huge thank you to all their parents, supporters and sponsors for assisting with the fundraising and gathering of money to attend the nationals.
