Netball Happenings
On Saturday 28th April, five Stratford High School teams took part in a pre-season tournament in New Plymouth. 3A and Allsorts were winners of their respective grades. A, B and 4A competed well and appreciated the early chance to try new combinations and skills.
The following Stratford High School students were named in the Stratford Under 15 Representative Team: Gracyn Meredith, Beth West, Emily Short, Tamsin Burt, Rhiannon Rhodes, Tessa Smith, Christine McIvor, Tylah Graham and Emma Paton. Christine and Beth were injured before the tournament and therefore were unable to play. The others played extremely well and although they only won one game they did Stratford proud. Gracyn Meredith was selected to trial for the Taranaki Under 15 team.
On Sunday 13th May six teams travelled to New Plymouth to play in the TSSSA tournament. It was a fantastic opportunity for our teams to challenge themselves against the other secondary schools in Taranaki. Our most successful team were the Boys A team, winning two games and losing one game. This put them in second overall. Strikers were third in their grade. 3A played four games, won three and lost one. 4A recorded one win and two losses. School A and School B recorded no wins but demonstrated some fantastic skill against some tough competition.
With all the tournaments we have been attending we have relied heavily on coaches, managers, supporters, parents, caregivers and umpires. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have supported and encouraged our teams over the last few weeks. In particular the following umpires: Barb Digby, Maria Swan, Nicola Duthie, Tracey Dorne, Glenda Zimmerman, Tracy Kivell, Nadine Smith and Robyn Davey.
Finally we have made an application to the ANZ bank to purchase jackets for our volunteer managers and coaches. The success of our application is reliant on votes from our supporters. To do this you need to go online and vote for our application via the following link: http://anznetball.co.nz/gransche/gallery-application/application.html?id=17585. You are able to make one vote a day. So please get voting.

They ended up second in their grade. 4A had three wins and one loss. They also ended up second in their grade. 3A and School B performed very well but were unable to achieve a win.

Yarrows bread bags - we are still collecting these for money for netball. Currently we have enough for one month but we need 1250 for the remainder of the season. Please hand clean, dry bags into the student office for counting. The top form each term receives a prize.
School Holiday Rugby
School teams were involved in two exchanges over the holidays with SHS hosting both events. On the first Monday (5th April) Thames High School brought their 1st and 2nd fifteens down for a Taranaki tour. Our 2nd fifteen lost a close game but played very well. The final score was 24 -19. The first fifteen had a great battle and ran out 25-14 winners. Many good contacts were made and the Thames team members enjoyed their stay.
The second event was the Jack Porter Tournament. We hosted three visiting teams over two days. We lost in extra time on day one to Waiopehu College 35 – 32 in a very close game. Day two saw SHS defeat Tararua College 15 – 6 in another close battle. Central Hawkes Bay College were the winners of the 2010 tournament. These games should see the boys ready for the local competition which starts on Saturday 24th April. Check the school website for the Jack Porter Photo.
