In the weekend we were honoured to send 4 teams to the Global Games tournament (kinda in Queenstown)...
With torrential downpours on Thursday it meant Friday was cancelled, but the weekend showed up sun, wind and so off to rugby they went.
๐The undefeated U10's are a hearty bunch of players- with these young all blacks giving it there all & even coming home with the U10s Champions trophie- massive congrats & well deserved!
๐Next up the U11's showed up in more ways than one! They all wore the Cromwell colours with pride, gave it 150% & had heaps of fun along the way.
๐And then came the undefeated U12's .... this strong determined team played with all of their heart and soul all weekend- they gave it 150% wearing our jersey with pride.
๐And lastly-but deffinately not least, was the combined team of the U13's. This strong & determined team pulled together from around the district to make a competitive team of capable players. Lots of fun was had and they didn't give up all weekend!
๐MASSIVE special thanks to Jason, Adrian, Kate, Chad, Mark, Murray, Matt, Kane, Ben & Rhys for thier commitment to coaching these teams to get them ready for the Global games. And to the players & parents for making it happen- see you all in 2027
๐And without the support of these local legends none of this would have been possible- please support them as they do us!
