Te Awamutu College’s junior girls’ football team made a discovery – of sorts – in Hamilton last Sunday.

They’re at their best when attacking.

At Flagstaff’s Discovery Park in Hamilton – the home of Northern United – the side placed third overall in an U14 tournament which attracted teams from around the Waikato.

The two-day tournament featured boys’ games across four grades last Saturday, and U10, U12 and U14 girls’ games on Sunday.
