HUTT VALLEY RUGBY REPS

In April me and some others were told that we would be nominated for a fitness test as the first stage in the Hutt Valley Rep selection process. We were told that the fitness test involved some very hard challenges like how many pushups you could do in a minute. We all found it hard but we also enjoyed it. We had to go through to more trial games but only some of us got in.

The Under13 Reps were: Dominic Bell,Luke Mannix,Chanel (Hio) Perez and Emin Kaya. An old sacred heart student form our year also got in. His name is Jacob Campion.

The Under12 Rep from our school was: Bradley Pritchard

The Under13 Reps played 2 tournaments. Amazingly we won them both!!  

Here are the results for the Central zone tournament:

Hutt Valley vs Wellington: 47 - 12

Hutt Valley vs Wanganui: 83 - 0 

Hutt Valley vs Wairarapa-Bush: 83 - 0

Here are the pics from the Central zone tournament:
