Great to see one of our current New Zealand Diploma Business students Josh Whaanga, juggling sport and studies. Bring on the semi-final on Friday. Otago Polytechnic

💥Here is your Otago Team taking on Bay of Plenty the Bunnings NPC Semi Final!💪

Head Coach Mark Brown, sums up the week… ” It’s an exciting week for the team in many ways. Obviously reaching the semi-finals is exciting and a culmination of the hard work and the belief this team grown throughout the season. It is also exciting to celebrate Will Tucker’s 50th game for Otago. Will is a central figure within the team and has made a significant contribution to the team’s success this year. Finally, we welcome back Finn Hurley from a long injury layoff. It’s a credit to Finn and our medical and S & C team (in conjunction with the Highlanders) who have worked tirelessly to get him back to full fitness.”

“The support we have received lately has been awesome and as we go deeper into the finals, the support becomes increasingly important. We are looking forward to a bumper Otago crowd on Friday night so make sure you get your tickets and help us keep the 2025 dream alive.”
