Otago Weight Grade Teams Named
Southern junior players (from our U11, U12 and U13 grades) have been involved in Metro weight grade teams over the last 2 months. Metro have 2 teams in each grade (U65kg, U48kg, and U38kg) and Central Otago, and South West Otago each have 1 team. After 3 trials around the Otago region the Otago Weight grade teams have been announced.
Congratulations to loose forward Callum White (Otago U65kg) and wing James Nicholson (Otago U48kg) both from our U13 team for making their respective Otago teams.
Also named was the Dunedin U38kg rep team, included in this team are Angus Cameron and Sam Donaldson both from our U12 team, and Jaquan Mapasua from our U13 team. Congratulations to all 3 of you on your selection.
Hard luck to those other Magpie players who didn’t quite make the next step, but you have done so well in playing rep rugby for Metro teams, and there are a lot of years ahead.
The Otago U65 and U48kg team play in the South Island tournament run over 3 days in September, against all provinces from the South Island. While the Dunedin U38kg team plays in the 1 day U38kg Trevor Boyle tournament against Otago Country, Southland Country, and Southland Metro.
Mike Robertson a parent at the Club is the coach of the Otago U65kg team.
