Last weekend the six Northland representative teams were in action against their zone one and Waikato opposition.
Most successful of the group were the Northland men premier two, who won their section in comfortable fashion. With Northland premier one finishing second in their section, the overall winners for the day were Northland.
In the women's section, the premier two team finished third and the premier one combination fourth. Meanwhile, the 1-5 year men and women travelled to the Waikato with both teams finishing third. Well done to all teams.
