Tauraroa Area School Sports

We had three little teams playing a C- grade format. our team captains (year 6 cricketers Alex, Carter, Kaedyn) had to choose a player of the day from their team. They chose Lily, Elvis and Khloe for their can-do attitudes, great effort, and awesome team encouragement. Many thanks to Patrick and Felicity for coming along, and Julie and Maree for helping to organise the kids beforehand. ❤️🏏. Oh, and the school was donated some kiwi cricket wickets, bats and balls and Felicity has plans to get her class out there to the field to play some more cricket - such was the fun had! BIG thanks to you Anna Pascoe for organizing,

Congratulations Kyren
