G.B.H. SPORT EXCHANGE
Gisborne Boy's High School recently had a sport exchange with Hastings 'Boys' High School involving Cricket, Golf, Tennis and Volleyball. The First XI Cricket team created an outright win. The 2nd XI, despite a brilliant 1st innings, were beaten in a close game. The GBH Golf team won convincingly. The Tennis team had a clean sweep winning 30- 0. The Volleyball team didn't realise their potential to lose this series against Hastings. (The A Volleyball team went on to 1st equal with Hastings High School at the Regional Tournament. Siaki Tui was selected as a N Z Trialist for the U/21 National Volleyball Team)

Siaki Tui (centre airborne) spiked after Brett Johnston (left) set the play. David Isaac (right) was the Umpire with Frank Russell the Umpire on the left side.
When things aren't working the team talk is essential. No6 Charlie Te Kani, Siaki Tui (obscured), No3 Pila Lolohea No3 Kodee Ngatai and No 2 Ainsley Paea take "strategy time''
No2 Siaki, the lone "blocker" has plenty of height however the faces of No8 William Mahuru (left) and No 3 Kodee Ngatai tell that the Hastings spike was smashed through their defence (the story of this series)
