Winter Tournament Week (during Term 3)
Each year we aim to have 2 competitive teams travel to a Winter Tournament. This is reviewed on an annual basis, and in 2022 will be:

  • 1st XI – Rankin Cup — Tauranga
  • 2nd XI – Galletly Cup — Cromwell

All WC sports team travel is self-funding however this should not deter any player from trialling. If you have any financial concerns please see Dave Keat, Director of Sport.

Under 15 Team
The U15 fixture team competes in the Miskimmin Cup,  the traditional against Palmerston North Boys' High School and New Plymouth Boys High School.
