Coastline Nines

The Coastline Nines are back!

Tuku mihi ki a koutou katoa!

What an awesome day for our Coastline District Rugby League whānau, today

Starting with the Whalers Sports Whānau Day for their 5-12 year olds, Whalers Sports ran there tamariki through a few skills stations, finishing with a tackle bag relay race - what a great sight to see - team work makes the dream work

Oh and the slip 'n' slide... the kids LOVED it!

We we're fortunate to host the Coastline Nines Tournament 2023 which turned out to be a tight competition.
