As the new President of New Zealand Polocrosse it is my pleasure to present this report on behalf of the New Zealand Polocrosse Board. Since the last IPC meeting polocrosse in New Zealand has continued to grow and develop and this is due partly to the focused efforts of those on the Board and in administrative roles within the sport and past players who have (in response to our publicity) come out of retirement to play and / or coach. In the last two years New Zealand Polocrosse has adopted a new Constitution, rewritten their By-Laws and changed their name to “New Zealand Polocrosse Inc”, to reflect the change in the structure of the Association as being run by a Board, no longer a Council. These are all positive moves for New Zealand which involved major input from many of our members. Continue reading »

New South Wales dominated the Barastoc Interstate Series, played mainly between themselves and Queensland, though there were also teams competing from New Zealand, South Australia and Victoria. NSW took nearly every grade that was going, yielding just two to the claret clad players of Queensland. However, the fact that it was the junior boys and girls titles that they lost out on will give Queensland hope for the future. Continue reading »
