Students rev up for football games

The CIFA complex will be filled with echoes of senior students as they prepare to play the last round of football games today.

In the girl’s category, two-time round cup champion Avarua School is leading group A with rival Arorangi sitting in second placing and today they will battle it out against each other for top honours.
Group B leaders Nikao will battle it out with Avatea who both are sitting on three points and today’s match will determine their placing.

Group A leader Avarua school will go head to head with Arorangi in the boy’s division. This match is a must win for Arorangi to level with Avarua on the points table before heading into the play offs – however, Avarua have been successful in all their round games and will no doubt play to win today’s match for top honours in their group.

Neighbouring schools Avatea and Nikao will face each other today in Group B and will be one exciting match to witness.
Last Wednesday’s results saw Avarua, Avatea and Arorangi Primary Schools win their matches against their opponents in the girl’s division while in the boy’s division Avarua, Avatea, Arorangi and Nikao dominated over their challengers.
