NZ Colts compete at the Royal Adelaide Show 2022

The Colts travelled to Adelaide in September to compete in a tri-series against the Australian Colts. The series was held over the last few days of the show enabling the NZ team to get some competition experience in the Australian wood. It was great to see the improvement over this time as they adjusted to the wood and to competing at international events, the first time in 3 years. The NZ Colts lost the series 3-0 against a strong Australian team. With a number of new members in our squad, the team will only improve in strength and experience.

The assembled team are pictured below:
