Rutherford students set for World Stage at Flag Football

Rutherford students set for World Stage at Flag Football

Thomas Hollier, Jett Felix- Croft, and Jakob Hollier have been representing the Metro Lions Flag Football Club, where they’ve been competing in numerous high-level tournaments, including the Auckland Championships and the National Championships. 

Following impressive performances at the National Champships, the boys were invited to trial for the New Zealand Flag Football representative team. From those trials, Thomas was selected for the New Zealand Under-17 Flag Football team (Wide receiver/Defensive back), while Jett (Quarterback) and Jakob (Wide receiver/Defensive back) were named in the Under-15 team.

These boys are now preparing to travel to the USA to compete in the Junior World Championships, an incredible opportunity to represent their country on the global stage.

We wish Thomas, Jett and Jakob all the very best for the upcoming tournament and extend our congratulations on such an outstanding achievement.
