The Mahurangi College winter sports teams were pushed hard in their opening matches for the season in the Mount Roskill Exchange held on April 5.
The visiting Mount Roskill Grammar School won five of the seven fixtures played, with Mahurangi winning just girls hockey 3-0 and girls netball 41-20.
Mahurangi College sports co-ordinator Karlie Stanbra says although the exchange was lost overall, she was happy with the performance.
“All of the games were played in good spirit with a lot of energy from our students, and we were competitive across the codes,” Stanbra says.
“I think there were positive signs that our teams can expect good seasons this winter, and we will be looking to win the Hauraki Exchange in July on the back of this showing.”
Stanbra was particularly pleased with the way the netball team came together on defence and praised a dominant performance from girls hockey.
“The hockey team has six new girls so to control the whole match and a 3-0 win was an impressive effort.”
Other results: boys hockey 2-1 loss; boys basketball 76-24 loss; girls basketball 54-12 loss; boys football 4-3 loss; girls football 2-0 loss.
