Sorry about the late post. The boys toughened up against one of the top four teams in New Zealand. We started the game off on a roll, going 10-0 quickly. The game was very close until about the last 5 minutes, where some mental mistakes cost us 2 quick trys, and Wesley's win. Wesley was very surprised by us, and even the ref was as well. The ref approached one of the parents before the game and told him that basically we were going to get wasted. Then after the game, he came up again and said that he has reffed Wesley's games for the past 3 years, including the one loss they have had in that time, and that no team has played them as hard as we did, and that we scored more points on them than any team. He also said that Wesley wasn't taking us seriously until after the first scrum and they were caught off guard with our toughness and we were ready to play. Coach Gelwix is very proud of the boys, especially for taking on one of the top teams in all of New Zealand and that we really could have and probably should have beat them. Congrats on a hard fought game boys...
Our next game is CCNZ on Saturday and hopefully I can get some more pics up before then.
We went white water rafting today and it was amazing. We went off the tallest (about 19 ft.) waterfall that is commercially allowed for paying groups. Awesome! I also have some pics from there I will try to post.
The boys are having a great time, everyone is safe, and I will try to keep you all more up to date...:)

Glad to see the boys are playing well and everyone is having a good time. We didn't play Wesley when I was in New Zealand but we saw them getting off a bus and they were pretty intimidating. Get a win against CCNZ!!!
