Some juniors travelled to Ashurst to play two Sunday s ago with good resuits. On Sunday 29 June, juniors will be travelling to a tournament in Taihape for beginner players. Central region coach Graham Randolf has been running a very successful coaching programme on Wednesdays thanks to financial support from the Hillary Commission. In the afternoon he takes a Ruapehu College group. After school he takes some of the top primary school players and then individual seniors in the evening.
