Whanganui High School players Olivia Smith (green and gold left) and Rebecca Baker loom large in the NPGH goal during the annual sporting exchange hockey clash won 32-27 by the visitors.

Whanganui High School had a less than memorable day on Tuesday at its annual sports exchange with New Plymouth Girls' High School.

The schools tested each other in hockey, netball, basketball and football at both senior and junior level with hosts Whanganui High School only winning both the A1 and A2 netball exchanges at senior level, but losing both Junior A1 and A2 match-ups.

In the senior A1 netball clash, the Phillips Electrical WHS side continued its winning ways as the only unbeaten side in the Netball Whanganui Premier competition.

WHS lost all other exchanges with the visitors.

WHS sports co-ordinator Lisa Murphy said NPGH was traditionally a strong sporting school, particularly in basketball, football and hockey.
