The 2021 Waikato Secondary Schools Inter-Collegiate Championship Day was held recently in clear but very windy conditions at the picturesque Hamilton Golf Club. 36 of the best secondary school players arrived at the golf club ready to represent their schools. The format for the day was best 3 out of 4 gross scores combined to form a team total.

The St Peter’s number one team of Rhys Thomas, Ing Iadpluem, Zahraa Bester and George Hodgson lived up to their pre-tournament hype shooting a combined gross score of 223. This was enough to win by 13 shots over the younger St Peters number two team of Ben Ambler, Heart Iadpluem, Suwanna McPhee and Lucas Peng.

Both the Hamilton Boys High number 1 team and number 2 team finished 3rd equal with team scores of 252.
