It was an extremely hot weekend in Lower Hutt on the 27th and 28th February. Perfect for going to the beach, lounging round the pool and cooling off with a few beers. However HOBM players showed their commitment and enthusiasm for the game by ditching the beach and turning up in big numbers instead to the coaching clinic run by IRANZ staff coaches Dave Rennie and Dave Ellis. These enthusiastic players worked hard through the heat of afternoon, shadowed by many of their coaches. The colts were put through their paces on Saturday with the premier players working hard on Sunday.
Dave Rennie was able to give the coaches great tips from his history as a club and representative coach - his presentation on match play was very well received, while Dave Ellis worked hard with the players on honing simple skills of the game.
We are sure that HOBM players and coaches will reap the rewards of their dedication in the coming season.
