QBT22 Recap
This year’s Queen’s Birthday Tournament was hosted by the Christchurch Indian Sports Club at Ngā Puna Wai Stadium in Christchurch.
In this year’s competition, Auckland had two men’s teams competing and one women’s team; one team for each respective grade.
Unfortunately, the tournament didn’t quite go as we had hoped, with our teams battling sickness on the final day,resulting in our Auckland A Men and Women forfeiting their games.
Big congratulations to our Auckland B men who were runners up in the Men’s B Division. Despite not getting the result they would’ve wished for, it was fantastic to see an Auckland team in the finals - a great achievement.
A selection of the games are available for viewing. Stream here.
A big thank you to Sunil Ramji, who took some fantastic photos down in Christchurch. View the photos here.
