I had forgotten how quiet a spetator I am (NOT!) when dad had to remind me it was only the first 5 minutes of Practice. I promise to behave better now!!
Hikawera is playing rippa rugby. For those of you hwo are not familiar with this it is just like touch rugby BYT wach player wears a waist bandk with a tag on either side. Instead of touching ypir apponant you must try to rip the tags off the player on the opposing Team. I will clue myself up on the rules a bit more in the upcoming weeks. Games start next Saturday.

Rangikawea (J4 Black) and Arama T is J1 are both playing. We are with Helensville Club this year. 20 min from home. The boys and dad hike it to the grounds after school in Helensville to make it in time for training. Luckily the teams keep practicing till about 5:30-6pm so they can catch the last ½ to an hour. I will be asking if kawea can train with the other teams that run late. Arama (dad) and I have volunteered to be the Managers for Arama’s team – so it should be a full on busy season. All the boys are in need of more players so if you know o f anyone!! Come out and play!!!
