Unfortunately the weather is not looking great tomorrow with potential rain all day and winds as well as 13-15 degrees. With this in mind we have made the early decision to postpone the Colour run to Wednesday 2nd April (Week 10).

Well Done to the Tī Kōuka touch team on striving for excellence this season. Thanks to Morgan and Dwaine for coaching the team!
