Academy 1st XV Welcomes Wairoa College Rugby Academy from New Zealand

(Watch The Haka Video.) A 4pm kick-off yesterday afternoon at Banbridge Academy and our 1st XV took on Wairoa College, on tour from New Zealand and an almost exclusively Maori School.  Their rousing Haka on pitch before the match added to all the excitement.

The referee was Mr Erskine.

Following the match, their touring party of 32 players and staff enjoyed a pizza meal for all the players. A Banbridge Academy school plaque was also presented to the Wairoa team as a momento of their visit.
