Netball MBAS Senior A Preparing for UNISS -  The upper North Island Secondary Schools tournament

Senior A played at the WBoP secondary school netball tournie in Rororua August 6. A VERY cold tournie  in Rotorua for WBoP UNISS teams. MBAS won 1 of 6 games. The team we won against is in the same grade as us at UNISS. A very positive tournie  for us, as we could  see where we stand against teams in higher grades. Bring on UNISS!!! Grace Ngataua identified at the WBoP Secondary School Tournmament
