Rugby
An excellent week for Craighead rugby to start Term 3, with both teams recording excellent wins in away fixtures. Our u15s had a run of tough results to end Term 2, but came back with a hiss and a roar, taking down Mid Canterbury Hawks 40-28, to spoil the Mid Canterbury club day. Some great tries were scored, three by Isabella McFarlane, and some strong performances from Georgia O'Sullivan, Olivia Moffat and Neve Gordan (despite almost leaving the team jerseys behind).
Our u18s had an excellent game against Roncalli, a good hit out to dust off the cobwebs. A resounding 74-7 win, with some great tries scored by Sienna Wright, Riley Pawsey, and Zoe Keane, among others. The team started strong, scoring in the first two minutes thanks to some lovely passing and handling, and didn't take their foot off the gas for the rest of the half. Roncalli did some great work at the start of the second half to stifle our attack, and with the whistle going against us, we had to work hard on defence to keep Roncalli to only one try. This was also the 20th game for Elle Kingston, and Sienna Wright, who were both capped after the game, in front of the team and parents.
