Auckland Maori U/11 Rep

After the end of my clubs rugby league season I tried out for the Auckland Maori Rep team.
I got chosen to be in the A team in the position of a forward. This was a challenge for me because I normally play in the backs as a center.


The coach chose me to be the vice captain of our team, which I enjoyed very much. We had an experienced coaching team which gave us the fitness and strength that we needed to win the four tournaments that we competed in. We travelled down to Hopu Hopu twice and then down to Ngaruawahia where we won all of our tournaments. Thanks to our awesome team we emerged as the winners of the Rangatahi, North Waikato, and A.P.S.A tournaments.


We celebrated our wins with a party and prize giving at Waiake beach in Torbay.
My favourite part of the day was jumping off the pontoon with my team mates. After our big feed we had prize giving where I got my trophy for MVP Most Valuable Player. I’m looking forward to trying out for the Auckland Maori under 12 rep team next year. I know that I’ve got a lot of hard work ahead of me.
