The warm-up matches were a chance for the newly selected teams to test their skills ahead of inter-regional age group tournaments to be held these school holidays.

Five Cambridge High School players – Jules Brabants, Lily Cameron, Trista Cowley, Maggie Davis and Izzy Tregoweth – made the 18-strong girls’ squad, which lost 4-3.  It was an impressive first outing for Cowley, who scored a hat-trick for Waikato.

Andrew Coutts, Winter Froger, Theodore Goodwin, Flynn Jenkins, Riley Jenkins and Heath Rogerson represented Cambridge High School in the boys’ squad, which lost 3-0.
