Last week, the Wellington U16 Boys team were proudly presented with their playing shirts by Graeme Murrell. Graeme, recently selected for the NZ A team and a seasoned representative of Wellington across multiple age groups, spoke to the boys about the pride and responsibility that comes with wearing the regional jersey.
With the Lower North Island U16 Tournament kicking off this week in New Plymouth, the team is ready to take on the challenge against our neighbouring associations. We wish the Wellington U16 Boys every success and hope they enjoy a rewarding tournament experience.
