Makoura College student Te Kapua Haira continues to make his mark in netball umpiring.
His latest major appointment came when he was selected to officiate in the final of the North Island under-15 championships held in New Plymouth this month.
Teams contesting this tourney came from all over the North Island, including bigger centres such as Auckland, Waitakere, Taranaki, Hawkes Bay and Wellington.
The final was between Wellington and Wanganui, the same teams Haira had refereed at a regional tournament in Wellington over Queen's Birthday Weekend.
