Macca’s Week Eight Picks

related links:

With games all set to be played under Level Two restrictions again, there won’t be open access for spectators at any games.

The St. Andrew’s girls’ team withstood a tough battle from Middleton Grange last week to claim the #1 seed from the Canterbury region in the AA National Tournament. Middleton Grange and Rangiora both finished with 12 competition points, so the head to head win back in the first week of August saw Middleton Grange claim the #2 seed, and Rangiora #3.

Because of there being no open entry at any of the basketball games this week (starting 24 August), we will endeavour to post any live stream links for the games tonight as we become aware of them.

Monday Night games: Kaiapoi at St. Margaret’s girls; Ashburton at Burnside boys
