South Island Champs Results

Huge thanks to all the teams and supporters who attended the South Island Champs on July 18. In a tremendous day of Handball it was the Wellington Spartans who took out the men’s title with a consistently powerful display in all four matches. As the scores indicate the women’s division was very evenly contested with the strong combined Waikato Uni/Christchurch HC taking first place.

A big thank you to all the referees, scorekeepers, timekeepers and cheering supporters who made the day a success and all the volunteers who put time into organising and preparing the venue.

A special thank you to our official sponsors and supporters:
