Minutes of Manurewa Local Board - Thursday, 15 August 2024

a) acknowledge the teams that represented New Zealand in Nottingham and the Touch World Cup in July. Of the 13 teams that represented us, all achieved silver in the finals except for the Mens 40s team who took the Gold. While the top wasn’t achieved by all, it shows that touch in New Zealand is very strong and with the Touch World Cup coming to New Zealand in 2028, the local board would love to see Manurewa hosting parts of, if not the whole tournament in the local board area.
