Touch Rugby Sum-Up for Term 1 2011.

What a super Term it's been for touch rugby! All 5 teams played so well all season. I don't think we have had such great results in a long time.
Check out the results from the Finals Week.

Muritai Sharks won the Grand Final 4-3, so they finished in first place! Well done!!

Muritai Eagles lost the Grand Final (in extra time) 3-4 so they finished in second place. This team were stars, especially playing the Sharks (a year 6 team in the finals). Well done Eagles!!

Muritai Storm won the Grand Final 2-1, so they finished in first place! Super stuff Storm, you guys had a great season!

Muritai Flyers lost the Grand Final 3-5, so they finished in second place. Another great season from the Flyers!

Muritai Hurricanes won the play off for 3rd and 4th place 4-0, so they finish strongly in 3rd place. Great stuff Hurricanes!

A great season for all teams. I am looking forward to seeing you all back (and more players) for the Term 4 competition.

Its just not Cricket...

Muritai won the toss and elected to bowl first on a damp wicket at Te Whiti. McLeod and Gareth opened the bowling and did well to restrict runs at the early stages. Rupert came on at second change and achieved the marvellous figures of 3 for 18 from 4 overs. With a very good fielding effort, we managed to restrict a very strong Hutt Intermediate batting line-up to 109 for 6 from 20 overs. Well done to Liam for a catch and a stumping, Moss with a super catch and Piri for 1 for 12.

After refuelling, we struggled to 81 for 8 from 20 overs falling 28 runs short of the target and therefore out of the tournament. Liam top scored with 18 runs. The boys did very well to get so close to a strong Hutt Intermediate team, most of whom play for the Hutt Districts Premier Team.
