South Island Champs Results

2009-07-21T14:40:00.010+12:00

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:

Success for Wellington HC and Christchurch HC at South Island Champs

2008-07-08T14:46:00.008+12:00

We held a great tournament on July 5. Teams from Dunedin, Wellington and Christchurch competed in the 3rd South Island Champs at Pioneer Stadium. Canterbury Handball entered two teams (Christchurch City and University of Canterbury) in the mens division and Christchurch City in the womens division. This was one of the most evenly contested tournaments to be held in recent history. The eventual winner was Wellington who beat Dunedin 22:20 in the last match of the round-robin which turned out to effectively be a final.Both our mens teams played well but unfortunately narrowly lost some close games that could have gone either way and finished 4th (Uni) and 5th (Christchurch).

The womens team won their best of three series against the young Dunedin team to give Canterbury at least one trophy for the weekend.
