Game 2 report for the Taniwha’s 

Last weekend the Year 5 Taniwha’s played off against Marina View Heat. The girls started strong and were quick to get an early lead. They played the ball well around the court and were accurate with their shooting. Final score was 19-1 to the Taniwha’s. Player of the day went to Brooke Taylor  for excellent passing & getting into space.
