Congratulations to Waimak United 13th grade!
The team of young footballers have been crowned the best in their grade in the South Island after a hard-fought battle in Queenstown.
They took out their grade's competition at the South Island Tournament during the October school holidays.
Coached by Grant Woolhouse and Wayne Lapslie, the squad of 16 played seven games with only one loss, a closely contested 0-1 against Nomads during pool play.
The grand final between Waimak and Nomads was a closely contested match. Neither team had managed to hit the back of the net by full time, with the score remaining 0-0, but penalty shootouts resulted in Waimak coming out with the win at 4-1.
Congratulations to the team and coaches whose hard work and training during the year brought home the winners' cup and the gold medals.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
