Players are usually in school year 7 or 8 and are playing premier turf grade. The team will compete in the McGrath Trophy tournament which is held in Rotorua from September 27th-30th. Their other games are in Greymouth 8-9th August, Ashburton 16th August, Timaru 6th September and Christchurch 12-13th September.
