Congratulations to the 15 Rutherford wrestlers who competed at the Novice Wrestling tournament on Monday, 18 March 2019.

For most of them this was their first taste of wrestling and after the initial nerves settled they put on some spectacular matches. Some highlights were included Josef Chan Tung, Israfil Rizal, Keisha Togo and especially Jury De’von Reedy who had 6 tough encounters.

Apart from a sprained ankle all left in good shape and keen for the Auckland Secondary School Champs on Thursday, 28 March.

Coach Jo Wilkinson was very excited by the natural talent on show and said “that with some fine tuning at training the team could bring home plenty of medals”
