Willy Silcock, Beach Handball Coordinator, summarised day 1 for the New Zealand teams.
“The Beach Handball New Zealand Team’s put together some solid performances on day two of the Oceania Qualifiers!
The Women's team put on a dominant display in their last pool match against American Samoa and secured the second seed going into the Semi-Finals!
The Men's team may have suffered a tough loss against Australia in their opening game, but they bounced back with a gritty win over Cook Islands to earn themselves a rematch in the final!
We are so incredibly proud of our New Zealand Beach Handball players and all that they have accomplished thus far in the tournament! Keep up the outstanding work and give it everything you've got in the final!”
