The pre-season kicked off with two away
games - one in the Waikato which resulted in our 17 guys playing two
Lemmington teams and coming away with a 26-21 win - not a bad
effort!! It was good to see so many of the wives/partners and
children coming along for the ride - thanks for the support.
Our second pre-season game saw us head
overseas to Waiheke Island - again wives/partners and LOTS of kids
came along and a great day was had by all. It was a Wild Waiheke
Island rugby game and a fantastic trip home on the ferry and
bus.
This leads up to our first competition game
played on 24th March, vs Pukekohe. The end result is that our guys
now know what is ahead of them. This game was played with a huge
commitment from our forward pack who showed that it did not matter
what size the opposition are, they can still be knocked over. Both
teams scored a try each but in the end the kicks made the difference.
Our boys can front up to Rewa in the next game and be confident in
the knowledge that THEY CAN foot it with "the big boys". I'll just
take this opportunity to welcome all of the players who fronted for
the first time for Karaka - here's to a great season!!!
