Making a splash

A bit of rain didn’t put a damper on the Paeroa Rangers U10’s final soccer game of the season against Whangamatā Area School on Saturday.
The Whangamatā School field was lined with supporters donning gumboots, raincoats and umbrellas while the two teams splashed it out for their last game.
Even though the field was covered in puddles, it didn’t stop Paeroa Rangers taking out the win.
Paeroa Rangers captain of the day Nehemiah told The Profile it was really fun running around in the rain.
Reporter DAVIDDA HIKATANGATA braved the weather and snapped some shots of the fun.
