Sulphur City Sports Weekend
Over Queen's Birthday weekend Carey Hammond and Brian Henwood together
with their team of volunteers organised a sports weekend in
Rotorua.
There were teams from Auckland, Manukau South, Waikato, Rotorua and
Wellington in attendance.
Blind indoor cricket was played on the Saturday and Sunday morning.
Goalball was played on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
The goalball was contested by eight teams. 2 from Auckland, 2 from
Manukau South, 2 from Rotorua and 1 each from Waikato and
Wellington.
This tournament saw the first ever all female team participate in a
goalball tournament within New Zealand. This team, the Auckland Ants
competed well and won a couple of games!
The tournament had a mixture of close games and some fairly decisive
games.
There was a general lack of padding for the games and those who had
their own were loaning them out with rapidity.
The final on the Monday morning was played between the Auckland
cockroaches who had been unbeaten through earlier games and the
Rotorua A team. It was a fairly tightly contested game until the last
few minutes of the game where the Cockroaches managed to get a two
goal lead which they held onto until full time.
It is hoped that the tournament continues to grow and be as successful
as it was this year.
Well done to Brian, Carey and their team of organisers for an
excellent weekend!
