During the first term two Waikowhai Rippa teams went to Cox's park to compete in the Central Mixed Rippa Competition.
Waikowhai 1 won our three games 4-2, 9-2 and 8-4 and qualified for the quarterfinals where we played against Halsey Drive 1 Beating them 6-3. Waikowhai 2 also qualified for the quarter finals winning 2 of their 3 games but unfortunately they lost in the quarterfinals but they did amazingly well.
In the semifinals Waikowhai 1 played 3 time defending champions…Bay Field scoring the winning try in just before the final hooter winning a tough exciting game 8-7. Meaning Waikowhai 1 were in the finals against Dominion Rd Primary School Tau’s new school.
In the finals Waikowhai 1 battled it out in our hardest game of the day with the scores tied 8 all at the final whistle. But because we scored the first try the mighty Waikowhai 1 won the whole tournament for the first time in the school's history. Now we are going to Eden park to play, to become Auckland champions against only 4 other teams from the Auckland. We hope that you can come and support us in our mission.
