The Weekend Sun
Campaign to bring home national titles Volleyball Tauranga’s crusade to bring home national titles continues tonight with a clash against Hamilton at ASB Arena. The club’s top men’s and women’s team will face off against one another at 7.30pm giving fans the chance to watch two elite games at once. After a slow start for Tauranga men, coach Tim Cleaver says the match is a great opportunity for the team to bounce back and build momentum. Hamilton men currently sit one place above Tauranga men, while Hamilton
women sit one place below Tauranga women on the current Northern zone ladder. Last year, the women’s team took silver and the men earned bronze in the National Club Championships, but Tim is hoping for a better result this year and says tonight could be the start of the teams’ rise to number one. “Friday night’s matches will pit two closely matched teams against one another, and with a few Tauranga natives in the Hamilton teams, there are a lot of bragging rights on the line.” Tonight’s matches are free for the public to watch at ASB Arena.

My sympathies rest firmly with the school administrators and the teaching profession, which for so long now has had their attention distracted from their primary roles as educators.
