🏉❤️🖤 CONGRATULATIONS MATEO! 🖤❤️🏉

A huge congratulations to Mateo Coll, who was called up to represent Hamilton Boys’ High School in the Super 8 1st XV competition.

🏆 Super 8 1st XV Rugby Final

The stakes were high.
Two proud schools.
One title on the line.

Hamilton Boys’ High School and Napier Boys’ High School went head-to-head in a hard-fought final, with Hamilton Boys’ High School coming away with the win 13–12 to claim the Super 8 1st XV title.

And there was more success for our Waihi boys, with Mateo Coll and Ben Mathis both involved in Hamilton Boys’ High School’s 2nd XV championship-winning team. 🏆

it’s awesome to see our young players continuing to grow and achieve.

Waihi Junior Rugby is incredibly proud of you both. ❤️🖤

Keep working hard, keep representing, and keep making us proud!
