The tournament was run by Tuwharetoa Sports and the day went smoothly, even a fire drill didn’t stop the play on the day.
In one semi-final Te Kura o Hirangi played and beat Taumarunui High School, in the other Te Kura o Ngapuke defeated Tarawera High School. Both games were of high standard and intensity with all teams wanting to make their claim as Tuwharetoa champions for 2019.
Tarawera played Taumarunui for 3rd and 4th with Tarawera winning and gaining the opportunity to attend the 2019 NZ Secondary School Ki o Rahi Nationals. Taumarunui were unlucky, they played really well throughout the day.
