Charli Dunn – Auckland U17s Cricket Team win Nationals!

Congratulations to our Year 13 student Charli Dunn who was selected in the Auckland Under 17s Girls Cricket team to play in a National Tournament in Palmerston North in mid-January, with Charli and her team being crowned National Champions!

In their first game against Northern Districts (8/111 after 30 overs), Auckland beat them by 6 wickets (4/112 after 21.1 overs), with Charli scoring 44 runs with the bat. Two more wins followed on day 2 (by 22 runs vs Wellington) and on day 3 (by 24 runs vs Central Districts). Despite losing to Central Districts U17s on day 4 (who won by 1 wicket), Auckland played Otago U17s for top spot – winning by 5 wickets!

Congratulations on your success, Charli! We look forward to following your progress across the year.

In 2023, Charli was a joint winner of the Year 12 Sportswoman of the Year for Western Springs College-Ngā Puna o Waiōrea.
