**What a Week of Rugby League for Maine Tueporo!**

Training during the week was absolutely amazing — the energy, focus and effort from our players was outstanding. That hard work showed on Saturday, with our games going to the next level!

A huge shoutout to all our girls who represented with pride:

**U8** – Maea-Joy, Mary, Sairah and Layla
**U10** – Boston and Ruby
**U12** – Kath, Kata, Aaliyah, Rimaira (Debut), Jaylani (Debut), Raupine (Debut), Trina (Debut)
**U14** – Jolyn and Leo

And a special acknowledgement to our **U16 & U18 girls** who stepped up to play in the Women’s grade again this week — that takes courage and commitment! We are so proud of you:
Jo-anne, Maiva, Terii, Jada, Heinata, Haveka, Nana, Finnola and Zicillya.

A special thank you to our sponsor Cook Islands Building Supplies for your continued backing of our programme — your support helps make these opportunities possible.

We also acknowledge Arorangi Bears for your ongoing support and partnership, and Cook Islands Rugby League for allowing our girls valuable game time in this year’s competition. Providing these pathways is helping grow the women’s game in the Cook Islands.

Finally, thank you to all our parents, family and friends for your constant encouragement on the sidelines and behind the scenes. We couldn’t do this without you.

See you all again for another big week ahead!
