I will remember the tackle five tournament because I really enjoyed it. I learnt new skills and tried a sport outside of my comfort zone.

Our students were also lucky enough to have a run around with the Hurricanes Under20 team when they were in Taupō for their Super Rugby Tournament.

On Wednesday June 7, four teams of students travelled to Turangi to represent Wairakei Primary School at the first ever King Country Tackle5 Tournament.

I enjoyed Tackle5 because it was very fun because you get to run with the ball and you get to jump on the tri line.

All teams did exceptionally well with Wairakei 3 and 4 competing against each other in the final. Wairakei 3 came out victorious and were crowned the King Country Rugby Tackle5 Year 5/6 Boys Champions.
