i wonder if the south africans are actually going to turn up to shc?

You would hope so considering they are hosting the next Worlds!

yeah would be nice. it's just that one of our players was told the SA womens squad were focussing on worlds and not attending shcs, and ditto for all grades.

you know, i'd quite like just to go to bari, play whoever turns up and have a great holiday, meet some people, get a tan.

if worlds are in SA the following year.... hooray! lots of hockey. we go to SA too.

would make more sense if i wasnt from this tiny country so far away from everyone else but thems the breaks.

looks like the only response to come out of south africa has been that they are discussing working towards their worlds in 2008 and not attending shc.

stink.

That is very stink!
Stink is such a NZ word.
Was wondering if your could post the team list for NZ if you have it and any updates on the comp?

that's from memory, apologies if i've got anything wrong but i think that's right. there is a colts womens team as well but i dont know all the names of those who made it unfortunately. as for the tourney, yeah no SA teams and aussie have just withdrawn the U21 mens team they were sending as there's no nz u21 team to play.

for those interested,

the nz mens team for 2007 will be picked from the following squad selected at their last training camp...

benson taylor wgtn
scott maddox auck
rowan pyne auck
darren foo wgtn
andrew gunn wgtn
andrew sanders dun
piers gordon wgtn
rob tinkler auck
reuben david friedlander wgtn
julian oneale auck
jesse hocking wgtn
liam watson auck
michael casey agtn
mark hebberd chch

...5 new caps in the mix there and quite a blend of the young and the ageing, so hopefully there will be some good development this year towards the next big competition.

ah benson, when is he going to join the site? Get on to it liam!

Cheers
Belle
