Some of the Aitutaki U18 7s Boys heading over to Rarotonga this weekend for the Raro 7s 2022 tournament!!! Safe flight boys!!!

Kia Orana to all our families & supporters here in Aitutaki, Rarotonga & overseas.

Now that Cook Island Games 2022 have come to an end. We would like to give our Thanks to God for guiding our U18 Rugby 7s & Touch Team, Coaches, Management through the 5 months of intense trainings, 2 weeks in Rarotonga for CIG and for bringing us back home to Aitutaki safely. With a successful campaign, our U18 boys managed to win GOLD for Rugby 7s & Gold for Mix Touch. not forgetting a large hall of medals were won by our boys who were selected to represent other codes.

2 months before Cook Island Games 2022 coaches Kete Wi******er & Drollet Joseph decided to take a youth team over to Rarotonga for Touch & 7s. within the short amount of time, our team decided to raise funds to support our boys travelling to Rarotonga.

These were some of the ideas we came up with to raise money for our boys.
1. Touch Tournament
2. Runathon
3. 250 Nikau
4. Disco
5. Movie Night

During this short amount of time we managed to raise enough money to get them to Rarotonga and to look after them during the 2 weeks in Rarotonga.

On behalf of our U18 staff, Kete, Drollet, Tyson, Nooroa, Matamanea, & reta.

We would like to thank all the parents who have helped us with all the fundraising and also letting their boys represent Araura.

We would like to humbly thank and acknowledge the following people & sponsors who have helped us on this great and successful journey.
