Mahurangi College has done it again, winning its fourth consecutive Hauraki Exchange multisport tournament at Hauraki Plains College in Ngatea on June 25 and 26.
Mahu scored an impressive seven wins in boys’ basketball, boys’ and girls’ football, girls’ hockey, boys’ and girls’ rugby, and netball, with only the girls’ basketball and boys’ hockey teams losing their games.
The biggest wins came in football, where the boys won 16-0, and boys’ rugby, where the score was 26-0.
There was also a dance group taking part in the two-day event, though this was a non-competitive section.
Mahurangi College director of sport Adele Ball said this was the 62nd year that the Hauraki Exchange had taken place and it had been a great tournament.
“Over the past 13 years, Hauraki Plains College won the trophy for nine consecutive years. Now Mahurangi College is battling back and have won for the last four years convincingly,” she said.
Ball congratulated the students, and thanked staff and volunteers involved in the exchange, saying she looked forward to hosting Hauraki Plains next year.
