HBHS Golfers Beat National Champions

Hamilton Boys’ have pulled off the unthinkable; knocking out last year’s national champions in the Inter-Collegiate Golf Championships. This means that HBHS will be representing the Waikato in the national competition in Waipu during the winter tournament week.

 The Inter-Collegiate trophy has returned to Boys’ High for the first time in a number of years. Our golfers have been fighting for a spot in the top team to contest this trophy since the start of the year, enduring 1st XV trainings, Friday 6.30am driving range sessions, summer league and school golf champs. Practice rounds in the holidays and the day before the competition were the perfect lead-up to the regional competition at Matamata. We won by three shots, with one of the lowest every recorded team scores of 5 under. This was achieved by Steven Kuggeleijn 69 (2 under) , Regan Kidd (3 under), Denzel Iremia (Par) and Hamish Kerr (Par).
