Three Northcross Boys teams took part in the North Harbour Intermediate Tournament at the North Shore Events Finder Stadium in the last week of the term .

Year 8 Boys Team 1

Year 7 Boys Team 1

Many of the Y7 Team 1 players had football experience but very limited experience on a futsal court. Game one they won by default and were fortunate enough to have a friendly game to get an understanding of the speed and pace of the game. The boys faced a very strong Rosmini team first up. NX were up by 1 goal but unfortunately conceded a goal in the final stages of the game to close out a 1 -1 second game. They then played Glenfield and combined some great passing to come away with a 7-0 win and nake it through to the play off rounds. Whangaparaoa finished first in their pool – no easy beat. Our team started well and shot out to an early lead 2-0. However Whangaparaoa came back strong with 2 goals of their own. It could have been more but credit must go to Llewellyn –  in goal – who saved two outstanding shots. In the end the boys drew 2-2 and were very unlucky not to go through to the next round due to count back rules. The players had a great experience, learnt more about the game of Futsal and did not lose a game! Many of the boys are keen to give it a go next year – that’s a win!
