A huge THUMBS UP to all our volunteers
Another successful Nippers Cup tournament has wrapped up. It was fantastic to see a girls team from Chilton play as well as a U14 boys team from St Pats Town.
To everyone that helped with pool control, to our coaches, managers and referees a huge thank you.
Our players flourished, learnt a few hard lessons along the way, and will all be better off for the experience.
Hutt Club can be very proud of delivering a true development tournament for the benefit of players.
Hutt definitely has heart
with a fantastic crew of volunteers who truly make a difference.

U14 Boys Final a thriller at Nippers

Hutt clawed its way back into the game bringing the score back to 5 all at the half.
The game seesawed in the third ending in 7 all. And the struggle continued throughout the final quarter with both teams hammering it out ending with 8 all at end of regulation time.
And so the game went into extra time with Maranuis Solomon Costa slamming home the winning goal.
