The annual STAC Summer Exchange was played in challenging weather conditions in Christchurch over Sunday/Monday 24-25 February.
The 1st XI Cricket side continued their encouraging improvement on the first day of their two day fixture. Batting first on a day interrupted by showers they amassed 175-6 declared. A solid top order effort was led by Flynn Linton with 47, Toby Clemett 40 and Jayden Williams 27. In reply, STAC were 29-1 at stumps. Unfortunately, some heavy overnight rain and morning showers led to the second day being abandoned.
In the Tennis, STAC were far too strong for a TBHS side, missing two of its top senior players. This led to them running out emphatic 11-1 winners in a tie played indoors at Wilding Park. For TBHS, Year 9 student, Malachy Cleland was the only player to record a victory.
TBHS were pleasing winners of both Volleyball matches against a STAC side off to the South Island Championships. For TBHS, Sio Latu used his size and athleticism to good effect to lead his team to victory.
The Touch was a hard fought contest with TBHS taking the first game by 3 points and STAC prevailing by a point in the second encounter. A drop off match was used as a decider with STAC again coming out on top by a solitary point. Jimmy Robertson was a key playmaker for TBHS
