The WGHS Junior Touch A team achieved excellent results in the weekly Girls North Harbour competition this season. Leading the points table heading into the semi-finals at Becroft Park, they played Long Bay College and won convincingly, 1-0. The team then played the Auckland Junior Champs, Rangitoto A, in the final on Tuesday night with Westlake starting strongly, leading 3-0 at half time before Rangitioto came back in the 2nd half. However, Westlake kept their composure on defence, handling the pressure very well before winning the 5-4.
The team is fortunate to have the guidance of former WGHS premier touch captain and NZ Touch representative, Maddy Yee-Joy, to guide them this season.
Maddy now joins Head Coach, Willie Woodhouse, and many of the Junior A players for the Westlake Girls Premier team campaign at the New Zealand Secondary Schools Championship from 5 – 8 December in Rotorua. We wish the young side all the very best.
