The young Hautapu Sports Colts squad will look to next season and draw on the experience of reaching this year’s Waikato Rugby U-21 grand final.

The Colts lost the final 17-29 to Hamilton Marist who took the Elliot Shield for the 22nd time in their history.

But the Hautapu side were in the game throughout and put up a brave effort.
