Town Reign Supreme at Neville Shield 2022

It is a genuine contest between Year 9 students and Year 10's from both Colleges where each College can enter three athletes in each event and the elite performers can only participate in a maximum of three events.

St Patrick’s College Wellington Head Coach Leigh Lidstone went in with a clear strategy “we knew we had depth in our team and that was fundamental to how we went about the day”, “Silverstream have beaten us in junior rugby and basketball this year however the tactic of having our all-round sportsmen taking the minor places meant we always had the competition under control”. Town won 154 to 118 points.

Congratulations must go to our captain Jaguun Gunregjav-Willers and the leadership qualities of Ethan Lepou who did an amazing job of setting high behavioural standards and leading the Haka for our junior team.
