Thank you to all our coaches and parents who have supported the Rippa Rugby during 2012.

 Mr Hollister would like to take the opportunity to contribute some comments regarding sporting excellence, and sportsmanship traits, on the Year 6 St Josephs Rippa Rugby team which he has the privilege of coaching.

‘We were fortunate to have so many talented young children in the team, and the key achievement was making the final of the North Harbour Primary School Rugby Championship held at North Harbour Stadium which we narrowly lost. To give context to the overall result, this year 179 Teams entered the North Harbour Primary School Rippa Rugby tournament, so to finish in the top 2 is an outstanding achievement.’
