Out-of-School Sport Roundup - Twizel Area School

Students at TAS are always busy with out-of-school activities. Take a look at a few events from the past week, including netball, highland dancing and football.

Twizel Netball Club

Our senior netballers concluded the club season with a stellar performance, highlighted by the Energy team’s victory in the Prem B grade. Despite a strong effort from SKC, our girls proved unstoppable. Sadie Mason delivered an exceptional performance in Goal Defence, earning her the Player of the Day title. The final score was 30-20.

Adding to her achievements, Sadie Mason was also named North Otago’s Most Promising Representative Player.

Our younger senior team, Voltz, fought valiantly in their final game but narrowly missed a win, falling 17-19 in the last quarter. Captain Myah Templeton-Gilchrist, who gave her all in every quarter, was deservedly named Voltz Player of the Day.

It’s been a fantastic season full of highlights and valuable lessons. Nic and I are incredibly proud of the entire squad for their commitment to twice-weekly practices and travelling to Oamaru for Saturday games over the past four months.

A big thank you to the parents, families, and friends who supported us throughout the season.
