The Raglan Area School Senior Girls Football squad had a good day out at the Waikato Secondary School 5-a-side competition on Saturday with both teams winning their respective groups.
While some of our opponents entered just a single team of their best players to maximise their chance of victory we made sure everyone had a chance to play by putting two teams into the competition and they both won anyway!
This Senior Girls team is the most successful football team Raglan Area School has produced and finished the main season unbeaten in division 2. There’s a good atmosphere in the team, players get equal time on the pitch and they have the talent to compete with the first 11’s from the big schools in Hamilton – except they play in a separate invite-only premier division.
The Junior Girls put in a team to the 5-a-side competition too. They did well to come second in their competition, losing the finals in a dramatic penalty shoot-out and the Senior Boys were in the running but didn’t quite make it to their final.
