💙 AUTOTECH HSOG — FINALISTS! 💙

What a season it has been for our Autotech girls! They’ve grown together, battled hard and fun along the way

This morning they took on Waima Netball Club in the 2nd Grade Final. While the result didn’t go our way, we couldn’t be prouder of this group. They left everything out on the court and showed the heart, determination and team spirit that has carried them all season. 💙🤍

A huge congratulations to Waima on the win, and a massive well done to our Autotech girls on an incredible season! 👏🏼

You should be so proud of yourselves, girls. What an achievement to make the final — and what a special group you’ve become along the way. 🥹💙

Back yourselves. Back each other. Backing Blue. 💙

It’s Finals day Apopo for Autotech HSOG

Come on down and support the ladies

💙 SEMI FINAL RESULTS | WHAT A DAY! 💙

And just like that, our HSOG semi finals are done! What a day of incredible netball, tough battles and girls who left absolutely everything out on court. 💙🤍

💙 EARTHWORK SOLUTIONS — 29–34

It wasn’t quite our day on the scoreboard, but what a way to finish! Earthwork Solutions had a rocky start and found themselves having to chase the game, but they dug deep and finished with an absolute bang, taking out the final quarter 13–7. 🔥

They never stopped fighting, never dropped their heads and showed exactly what this team is made of. After a rollercoaster season of highs, lows, injuries, wins and losses, making it to a semi final and finishing the game with that kind of fight is something to be incredibly proud of. 💙

💙 IMS — 30–34

What a game! IMS were in it the whole way, with the scoreboard staying incredibly tight from start to finish. There was barely anything between the two teams, and our girls battled for every ball, every turnover and every opportunity.

It was a truly valiant effort from a team who stepped up into Prem Reserve this season after winning A Grade last year. They have worked so hard week after week, and to finish their season in such a close semi final is an achievement they should be hugely proud of. 💙🤍

💙 AUTOTECH — 48–25

AND THEN THERE WAS AUTOTECH! 🔥🔥🔥

Our Auto Tech girls put on an absolute performance, coming away with a convincing 48–25 victory to secure their spot in NEXT WEEK’S FINAL! 🎉

After welcoming plenty of new faces into the team this season, they’ve gelled beautifully and finished top of the table — and now they’ve taken that form into the semi finals when it mattered most.

One more game. One more week. One more chance to BACK BLUE! 💙

To all three teams — we couldn’t be prouder. You represented HSOG with heart, determination and plenty of fight, and we are so proud of the way you’ve battled throughout the season.

Now… LET’S GET BEHIND AUTOTECH! 💙🤍

FINAL BOUND! 🏆

💙 AUTOTECH HSOG – 2ND GRADE SEMI FINAL! 💙

At the start of the season, our Autotech HSOG team welcomed a number of new faces. It didn't take long for this group to gel, building strong connections on and off the court and playing some outstanding netball along the way.

Their hard work, determination and teamwork have paid off, finishing top of the table heading into this weekend's semi-final.

Another action-packed weekend for our HSOB and HSOG whānau, with plenty of positives to take away across both fixtures.

The HSOB Eels went down 2-1 to a quality Ngatapa side in a hard-fought contest. While the result didn’t fall our way, the lads showed plenty of grit from first whistle to last. Our goal came courtesy of an own goal, and congratulations to AJ, who picked up MVP after another tireless performance. A big congratulations to Ngatapa who lock away the Gisborne Glass challenge shield until next year!

Sunday belonged to the HSOG women, who produced a brilliant 7-0 victory over Thistle. The standout performance came from Materoa, who was simply unstoppable, bagging an incredible double hat-trick (6 goals) in one of the club’s finest individual displays this season. 🔥⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

A special mention also goes to Courtney, who added the seventh, while Bella earned MVP honours after another outstanding all-round performance.

Results don’t always tell the full story, but this weekend showcased the effort, resilience and quality that continues to grow across our club.
