By Alex Buttery | Posted: Friday March 16, 2018
On Friday 16th March Balmacewen entered 2 teams in the League tournament. The Balmac 7's coached by Mr Kemmett and Kit Moataane and The Balmac 8's Coached by Mrs Buttery and Rea Tasi-Cordtz. Both teams did very well and for many of the players it was their first time playing League.
It was a chilly day at Bishopscourt but lots of fun was had by the teams. The Balmac 7's had a tough day coming up against the 2 teams who ended up in the final in their first 2 games but came back to beat KVC and Warepa in their last 2 games.
The Balmac 8's beat DNI (20-12), Balmac 7's 28-8), Outram (24-8) and Carisbrook (32-8), to make their way into the final. A great game played by both Carisbrook and Balmac 8's in the final but the Balmac 8's used their sub-box wisely and played a strategic game to win the final 24-8.
