Tēnā koutou katoa,

It is with regret that NZHF has decided that it is untenable to hold the Regional Championships planned for next month in the current Covid Climate. With one of our four active regions being highly unlikely to be able to attend, and the logistical challenges and risks involved in trying to run a meaningful event in level 2, we feel the right thing to do is call it now. Unfortunately we don’t see any prospect of running this event on a later date in 2021.

The NZHF is aware that players have had limited chance to play inter-regionally. We are working hard so next year’s Handball Calendar will provide players ample opportunity to play handball in New Zealand.

To our New Zealand Community, especially to our Auckland region - Kia Kaha and Stay Safe
