Cricket News

This year Awatapu College took part in the highly competitive Secondary School Cricket Tournament. Our Awatapu College Black Caps played enthusiastically and with a great team spirit, winning all by one of their games.

Courtesy of some extremely good bowling by Walter Johnson and Kyle McGoldrick, we ripped through the opposing teams and took a promising lead in the tournament. Our wicketkeeper/batsman Tenkyn Hawe-Astwood has consistent games throughout the tournament, and our prolific batsman Ali Muhammad Jawad and Te Manumohio Johnson held onto our terrific run rate with their patient batting. It was also great to see Andrew Hills, Walter Johnson and Owen Keenan blasting a number of boundaries to reach the highest score of the tournament.

Our Awatapu College Black Caps were able to achieve these magnificent results due to their outstanding effort both on and off the pitch. Congratulations and well done, Awatapu College Black Caps, you have done us proud!
