Rathkeale 1st XI Cricket

Mr Deon van Deventer, Jacob Clark, Sam Goodman, Patrick Shaw, William Orsborn and George Moser, with New Zealand cricket great Ross Taylor at the Wairarapa Times-Age Sports Awards.
An inspiring night recognising the achievements of our sporting community. 👏🏏

After some brilliant team achievements over the cricket season, the 1st XI cricket team have been nominated for the 2026 Wairarapa Youth Sports Team Award.
Grab a copy of the Times Age and get voting. There is tough competition but the efforts, achievement, and culture of this team deserve to be celebrated.

And the skipper William Orsborn has been selected as a finalist in the Youth Sportsman of the year. William has been an inspiration to all the boys, performing consistently with bat and ball, breaking school records and captaining the Central Districts age group side at nationals to finish 3rd. William has shown exceptional talent, commitment and leadership.
