\n<\/i><\/b>Another spectacular performance by the colts boys over the last 2 weeks. \u00a0On the 25th February the boys played the Saint Kentigern 2 Colts Team and won! They showed they were true contenders in this competition as the \u2018win\u2019 seemed to come with ease.<\/p>\n
Final Score: Last weekend the boys played Macleans College at Macleans. The boys didn\u2019t let playing away deter their focus in a nail biting finish in cricket fashion. A few late wickets seemed that Macleans would strip the boys of their win and end the winning streak. However, with resilience, the boys triumphed to victory.<\/p>\n Final Score: This weekend the boys are playing Takapuna Grammar at MHJC. Good luck boys! Hopefully the weather holds.<\/p>\n Y9 & Y10 Boys Blitz Cricket:<\/span> Final Score: Unfortunately due to the tremendous rainfall we had this week the Blitz was cancelled. The boys will play their deferred game next week against Papatoetoe at Kolmar.<\/p>\n Y7 & Y8 Girls Blitz Cricket:<\/span> Final Score: Likewise, due to the heavy rain the girls were not able to play Redoubt North on Wednesday. Arrangements are being made to play catch up games since many of the girls are away at camp next week. <\/span><\/p>\n Y9 & Y10 Girls Blitz Cricket:<\/span> Active Post Cup:<\/span> Orienteering:<\/span> Tennis:<\/span> Netball:<\/span> Football & Futsal:<\/span> Hockey:<\/span> Rugby:<\/span> Basketball:<\/span> Swimming Sports:<\/span> Each whanau were awarded points for every participant they had on the day and for every participant that placed top 3.

\n<\/i><\/b>What an improvement! The girls played Holy Cross 2 and showed what a small amount of training can do. Although they still lost, the run rate was much higher reaching over 100 runs. The girls are also very lucky as Mission Heights has secured Regina Loili from Papatoetoe Cricket to help coach and improve the skills of our young female cricketers.<\/p>\n
