Considering the disruptions caused by Covid-19, we managed to get through the season with the kids having a great time and with some amazing results throughout all divisions.
As usual none of it would have been possible without the dedication and work done by all the coaches and managers, as well as the commitment given by all parents involved. Thank you to all involved. It really creates a community and social feel about the club, which shows on any given Saturday at Papahua.
Special thanks to our First Kicks parents. Being very much a parent driven program, it can be a bit daunting at the start of the season but by the end of it every team was doing great with lots of parents involved and having fun.
Congratulations to every single player and team, you have done your club proud and the general feedback we receive from other clubs is that it’s always a pleasure to play a Raglan team, especially at Papahua.
Special acknowledgements goes out for the list below of our Most Valuable and Most Improved players this year.Have a great and safe summer and we look forward to the 2021 season.
