Senior A Girls
On Wednesday 29th of June our Senior A Girls Basketball team had
a fast and furious game Aquinas Senior Girls team who had a
dominant shooter slotting in many three pointers to keep the scores
neck and neck and at the end of the first quarter Aquinas was up by
one point. Once the Mount girls worked out how to shut her down,
the game started to favour Mount College. However, there was a lot
of physical play and Aquinas had the upper hand on rebounding and
using the ball from the ground. The Mount team continued to block
shots, intercept passes and by the start of the forth quarter the
Mount girls had a buffer of at least 10 points. It was definitely a
good game to watch with great defence by both teams and some
pleasing middle court action by the Mount. By the final whistle
Mount College extended their margin and won the match 62-45.

24-15
Saturday July 2nd Results
Under 15 The Mount Maunganui College under 15 team continued
their recent strong form, with a commanding 76-0 win over Tarawera
High School. Lead by their skipper Jaydon Gage, who overcame
sickness to take the field, Mount College was too strong for their
opponents. Melino Fotu and Caleb Vanner were danger men in the
forwards, which allowed for the Ihe twins, Jayden and Jamaiah and
strong second five eighth, George Mano to cause havoc in the backs.
1st XV The first fifteen match between Mount College and Te Puke
was an exciting display of running Rugby, which resulted in six
tries in the match. Mount College lead 14-12 with 15 minutes to go
after a strong defensive performance. Joseph Wallace and Raphael
Romeu were busy all game making tackles and winning ball. Seren
Marsh led the troops well, while second five eighth Cashmere Tawa,
was strong in the midfield, scoring a well deserved try. Te Puke
ran away with the game, after dominating possession for the last 15
minutes of the game. Final score was 26-14 to Te Puke.
A few of our second and third Xl Hockey players took the
opportunity to attend a Hockey skills session run by the Mount
Premier Ladies Hockey team. Contract Medical Services sponsor the
ladies team and as part of this sponsorship deal the ladies are
encouraged to support school Hockey in the Mount. The session was
full of fun activities and lots of skills that the players can use
throughout the season. A huge thank you to both the Mount Ladies
Hockey team and Contract Mechanical Services.

defensive game with Ella Raymond, Nicole McLaren, Hannah Albertsma
and Molly Shivnan working together to gain several tips, intercepts
and rebounds throughout the court. In the shooting circle the girls

Netball Representatives 2016
Four Mount Maunganui College students made the Harbourside
Netball Centre Under 15’s representative netball team. Ella
Pollock, Bella Ackroyd, Armanii Martelli and Nikki Wright all
played key roles in the team and successfully competed at the
annual Hamilton City Netball tournament over the weekend. The team
came away with three wins and one loss showing they are an agile
and competitive team against teams from Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua
and Taupo.
Julia Kayes was selected in the Harbourside Under 17 team. This
team competed in four tournaments over the past four weekends. Two
Auckland tournaments were a great opportunity for the under 17
girls to play against some great opposition including Otago,
Waitakere, Auckland and North Harbour. The other tournaments were
played in the Waikato and Rotorua against other Bay of Plenty
centres where the Harbourside under 17 team’s performance was
strong winning six out of eight games.
Premier One
Mount Maunganui College Premier one netball team won their first
game in round two against Aquinas College 54-28. The game was open
on attack and allowed the Mount team to release the ball quickly.
The whole team was required to step up in mixed positions to cover
injuries. Sadly the team’s key mid court link Eva Gibson left the
court in agony with an Achilles injury and we wish her well and
hope for a quick recovery!
