Taupos 7s

So Taupo 7s is an age old Army tradition, of at least over a decade anywho, held every Anzac Day, when Sallies from all over the North Island converge on Taupo for a day's games of Volleyball, Netball, Soccer and Touch Rugby.

This year was the biggest turn out yet, with 29 teams - and funnily enough a lot of people my age weren't even there. (If you're reading this: Shame on you! You missed a goody.) Particularly because this year, the weather broke with tradition and there was even BLUE skies!

Hamilton City (my old youth group) entered three teams this year, and funnily enough two of them faced each other in the competitive finals! But my current home team (Booth College of Mission aka BCM) were also fabulouso and got to the finals with Hastings, to whom we graciously lost. Anywho it was a loooong day (especially driving all the way to and from Wellington in one day!) but well worth it.
