GIRLS FINALS: The Whanganui High School 1st XV were able to make it a championship double against rivals Cullinane College 1st XV during the week. First, the sides met in an all-Whanganui playoff at Palmerston North’s Ongley Park in the MRU Secondary Schools final, with WHS winning 42-10. It was much more competitive in the WRFU 10-a-side final on Thursday at Spriggens Park. Having traded title wins in the past two years, defending champions WHS got up 44-34.
MAORI GIRLS: There were further honours for some of Whanganui’s schoolgirls as WHS captain Hayley Gabriel and Cullinane’s Waimarie Rauhina and Anahera Hamahona have been selected for the NZR National Under 18 Māori Development Camp, being held September 15-18 in Rotorua. The three players attended the three Regional E Tu Toa camps held in July.
UNDER 15: The Whanganui Under 15 girls finished their short representative campaign with a 45-7 loss to Manawatu Under 15 in Palmerston North on Saturday.
