πŸ‰ HORNETS 11s vs TAUMARUNUI 11s – PRE-GLOBALS GAME

What a good hit out for our team heading into Globals! πŸ”₯
Taumarunui made us work hard from the get-go with good side-to-side play, strong running and solid defence. They went try for try with us early on, testing our team and making us work for every opportunity.

Once we settled into our rhythm, we started to find our flow, take our opportunities and put together some well-deserved team tries.

There’s still plenty to work on, but we're very proud of the way our players continued to work hard when things got tough. That’s the character we need heading into Globals. πŸ’ͺ🏽

πŸ† PLAYER OF THE GAME – ROMEOοΏ½Chosen by the opposition. Great game management, outstanding passing, strong defence and running. Awesome mahi Romes.

A massive shoutout to Aunty Lomz, Antz, Renz, Pare and Nanny Ngahuia for sorting and helping with everything behind the scenes, photos, kai, facilities and all the mahi that made the day flow.

To our parents and whānau, thank you once again for your continued support β€οΈπŸ–€

To Jeff and the Taumarunui team, thank you for making the trip and giving us a good hitout. We wish you all the best for Globals, we'll throw you a mana wave when we see you next! πŸ‘‹πŸ½

And to our Hornets 11s - let’s keep building, learning and embracing this journey together. We’ve come a long way, and we’re still growing as a team.

What an awesome way to finish the season for our mighty Tongariro Hornets! πŸ”₯
Today we faced a resilient Tongariro Mustangs team who have worked hard all season and well and truly earned their place in the Grand Final.
We finally had our full squad, which allowed us to stay focused on the things we’ve worked on all season, winning the ruck, staying connected and working for one another. In the end, that got us the W πŸ₯‡
A massive thank you to Aunty Lomz for all your hard work on game days and the on-point comms throughout the season.
To our tamariki, thank you for having each others backs on and off the field and putting in the mahi week after week.
Special mihi to our captains Romeo, Henry and Elle-Jaye for leading the way all season. β€οΈπŸ–€πŸ€
To our awesome parents, whānau and supporters, ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. Your commitment and support throughout the season has been massive.
A special mihi to our committee, all the mahi happening behind the scenes definitely doesn’t go unnoticed.
Now it’s time for a well earned break, then we get back into it as we build towards Globals. πŸ‘Š

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

Final score: 75–45 πŸŽ‰

Every single player went hard today and absolutely put on a show for us all! What a way to finish the season!

It’s definitely bittersweet knowing this was our last game. It has been such a joy watching our tamariki take the field every Saturday, seeing their confidence grow, their skills improve, and watching them become such an awesome little team. ❀️

A massive THANK YOU to all our amazing parents for showing up to every training, every game, and supporting the team week after week. We genuinely couldn’t do this without you. You are the backbone of our team!

Reid and I have enjoyed every single moment of this season and we couldn’t be prouder of our little Taniwhas. Thank you for having us as your coach and manager.
