The Ko Taku Reo Mighty Ducks is a new team that emerged after the Ko Taku Reo Compilation. The team consists of over 10 deaf players and participates in the "Social Basketball Christchurch League." They are coached by Steve Hira. Currently, the Mighty Ducks are at the bottom of the league with 4 losses and no wins, but they are continuously improving and striving for victory.

The 8-week season for the Ko Taku Reo Mighty Ducks has concluded. The final game was a thrilling one, with the Mighty Ducks tying the Eastern Predators with a score of 60-60. Josiah Taula, Aziliah Selilu, and the return of Lawsyn contributed to the team's performance. Unfortunately, Noelani missed four games, resulting in a total of 7 losses and 1 draw for KTR. Following the basketball season, the KTR Mighty Ducks will participate in the 2022-2023 Touch Rugby Summer Season.

The Ko Taku Reo Guardians is the team that emerged after the Mighty Ducks, which was renamed back in November. Jayden Edwards has won back-to-back Henry Memorial Sportsman Conference awards. The Mighty Ducks will make their return in the upcoming basketball season, which will be held in Term 2.

## **2023 Season**

The Ko Taku Reo Guardians have been renamed to the Mighty Ducks, and they are now a permanent team! The touch rugby season has started, and they have won 2 games and lost 1. Ohomairangi Tawaka was projected to be the best player and predicted to win the Henry Tangiwai Scott Memorial Sportsman Award. However, unfortunately, he has left the KTR and the Guardians and moved to Australia.

Currently, KTR has not provided any updates regarding new players or changes to their sports lineup. However, in late May, Ohomairangi Tawaka left Ko Taku Reo and moved to Australia with his brother.

Jayden Edwards left Ko Taku Reo for 2 months due to personal reasons and health issues. Ko Taku Reo Residences felt different without them, but Jayden Edwards returned to KTR at the beginning of June.

He started playing for the Canterbury Deaf Basketball Team with his former residential student, Thomas McLiskey, and Miggy Javier, who are on the same team for an upcoming tournament from November 4th to 6th. Additionally, the Touch Rugby 2023-2024 Season has begun, and Jayden Edwards was announced as the captain. He has reached over 50 games played, but unfortunately, he lost the first game against Sumners Kidz with a score of 4-0. Jayden will continue to play 7 more games before leaving the residential early for a long holiday. The year 2024 promises improvement and success.
