Wellington Region Rippa Champs

Muritai's Y5/6 Rippa Rugby team WON the regional qualifying Rippa Rugby tournament and will now represent the Wellington region at the nationals next term. We beat Tairangi School and Rangikura School in pool play.  We then went on to beat Ngati Toa School in the semi final and then we played and beat Tairangi School again in the final.  Both the semi final and final were close games.  AWESOME effort !!!

Muritai v Eastern Hutt

Muritai's 1st XV went down today, not without a fighting spirit though. They played a much bigger group on a very small field which made for a tight 'battle' up front. Well done to our opposition, Eastern Hutt. Our boys held their heads high, were gracious in defeat and showed good sportsmanship. Kia Kaha!
