Melville Intermediate - Maeroa Intermediate Girls Touch

The final game for Melville Intermediate Girls Touch team for 2011 came in the last pool game against our friends at Maeroa Intermediate, they scored so quick, from the first set of six, that we didn't have the cameras rolling, and scored a second try not long after. However in an incredibly first half Kaea from Melville Intermediate, Room 18 managed to score a brace herself to bring the match to 2-2. Neither side was able to score in the second half meaning a draw was the end result and a positive way for both teams to end the tournament.
