Netball:
When Mount Maunganui College Premier Girls' netball team played Tauranga Girls' College Premier in a semifinal last week it was always going to be a tough battle.

Mount had defeated Tauranga by only one point the week before and the semifinal was no different winning 30-29 to secure a place in the finals today.
They will face Trident College in the season final at 7pm at Harbourside.
Our premier Girls 2 team also won their semifinal game convincingly with a score of 32-20 against Aquinas College and will also play their final on Friday, as will Mount College's Junior A and Junior C teams.
