Representative Programme 2025

The Junior Representative Program is an opportunity for players to take that next step in the player pathway. It offers quality player development, recognition in Taranaki and life long friendships.


In 2024 we had four teams in the following age groups U14 Development, U14 Girls, U16 Girls and U16 Mixed that represented Taranaki at 3
preparation tournaments in Masterton, Palmerston North and Whanganui. Our girls teams continued on to compete at North Island Junior Championships here in Taranaki over 3 days. Our U16 Girls team secured 2nd place in the B grade and will now enter into A grade for 2025. 


From North Island Junior Championships we had 3 players selected for the U16 Tournament Team.
We had 11 players invited to attend Central Zone Secondary Schools Tournament to gain selection into the Advance Camp for Secondary Schools.
