Student attend Blues Captain Run

Salim Aumata, Alex Buchanan, James Campbell, Vilfred Crawley, James Lancaster, Nathan Liebenberg, Dylan Marais, Chase McCarthy, Henry Ramsay, Cooper Somers had an awesome experience last week

Ten of our rugby boys( Salim Aumata, Alex Buchanan, James Campbell, Vilfred Crawley, James Lancaster, Nathan Liebenberg, Dylan Marais, Chase McCarthy, Henry Ramsay, Cooper Somers) had an awesome experience last week, getting the chance to attend the Auckland Blues Rugby Captain’s Run. 

It was a special opportunity for the boys to stand on the sidelines and watch professional players go through their final preparations before game day. 

After training, the Blues players were great with the boys, stopping for photos, signing autographs, and having a few conversations with them. We really appreciate the Auckland Blues rugby association giving our boys this opportunity. 

Moments like these can really inspire young players and it was fantastic for them to be around such positive role models. We would also like to say a huge thank you to Greg Muller for taking time out of his busy schedule to take the boys along and make the day possible.
