Last Thursday (Week 1) was an exciting afternoon for Weymouth and Leabank Primary School as they faced off in a rugby pre-match game held at Leabank School. The game was a big hit with students and families from both schools coming out to support their teams.
It was amazing to see so many people excited about inter-school sports! Both teams gave it their all and showed great sportsmanship throughout the game. A few girls played alongside the boys which was an awesome sign for growing the game of rugby.
This rugby match was a fantastic example of how sports can bring people together and teach important values like teamwork and respect. In the end, both teams showed that they’re not just great at rugby, but also to give 100% in everything you do and to be part of a team.
Hopefully, there will be more matches like this in the future, where everyone can come together, have fun playing rugby and cheering each other on.
Fa’afetai Mrs Vienna and Mr Ekepati Park from Leabank Park for allowing us to play at your school. Fakaaue lahi to Jacob Unuia (Jayveous and Dillon’s dad) who has been helping to coach/ train the boys.
Shout out to Mrs McLaughlin for your support and helping with transport. Nga mihi nui to Miss Cash-Tatana, Whaea Dana and all our whānau for coming out to support and cheer us on from the sideline.
