House League Finals

The semi finalists for the league champs were played yesterday with Manapouri taking on Mahinerangi and Wakatipu playing Wanaka. Wakatipu beat Wanaka in a close game with the lead changing throughout the game. Isaac T scored a great try off a bomb that hit the post which sealed the game for Wakatipu. In the second semi Mahinerangi were to strong for Manapouri scoring in the last minute to win the game. Jessica M had a great game for Manapouri especially on defence. The grand final will be contested between Wakatipu and Mahinerangi, if the weather is bad the game will be postponed until Monday next term.

Full Primary Touch Tournament

On Thursday the 10th of April the top touch players of Outram(Blues/Whites) went in to Mosgiel to play in the Full Primary Schools Touch Tournament. Each team had 3 round robin games, with the winner of each pool qualifying for the semi finals. The first game the Blues played was against St Mary's 2, the score was 6-4 to us. Because of the draw we had to play our second game against Fairfield straight after our first game. We ended up drawing with Fairfield 2 all. This meant we has to beat Green Island by more than 2 points to qualify for the semis. Mr Martin gave us a good talking to and we beat Green Island 23-1. We drew Brighton in the semis. We played well and beat them 6-0. The final was against St Mary's 1, who we had beaten previously in the Taieri Module finals a month earlier. It was a very close game we were leading 3-2 at halftime. St Mary's scored twice just before fulltime to beat us 4-3. The team was very gutted as it was our first loss ever as a team. We are proud of our achievements and now are hungry to win the trophy back next year!!!!
