Taupo Gears Up for Global Games

Budding netball and rugby stars from all over the North Island are converging on Taupo this weekend as part of the Global Games.

The junior sporting festival will see hundreds of young sportsmen and women compete in one of New Zealand's most scenic sports destinations. Check out the New Zealand Junior Netball Festival and New Zealand Junior Rugby Festival action at Owen Delaney Park.

Taupo DeBretts is playing host to several of the 60 rugby teams and 24 netball teams taking part in the tournament, and the TDB team wishes the young competitors all the best.
