Whai Rawa members, Eliza and Emma Sim (Kāti Huirapa) recently competed at the NZ Squash Championships held in Auckland. Representing Otago and Canterbury respectively, it could have been a tough decision for their whānau loyalties had they been drawn against one another in the opening round matches, as the two provinces clashed. In the end Eliza’s Otago team were beaten in the Plate vs Wellington, despite her individual victory, and Emma’s Canterbury team lost to Auckland in the semi-final round.

Whai Rawa want to remind whānau that a sports achievement Pūtea Manaaki grant can help with a koha of $200 for national and $100 for regional representative selection. Call us for an application form on 0800 942 472.
