​The New Zealand Team participated in the APO Cup in Sydney Oct 2019.
It was a double round robin tournament with Australia , Japan and New Zealand.
The Australian U21 side made up numbers but points were not counted. 

Squad was:
​Luke Alderton (C), Pat Edmunds, Toby Lipinski, Brennan Massey, Cooper Pulini, 
Michael Wheeler, Sandra Wilcock, & Diane Williams

Toby was in Kiwi RED who got 3rd,  a great result.  he is very happy
The Kiwi Red (Development team) got 5th. Great result for them also.
The Ditch Cup which is played between NZ & AU, was a very tight game also
The NZ team played well but could not hold out the Aussie team and went down 2 – 0

Well done the Kiwi Red team!
Here are the results

​Day two of the Nationals has been another thoroughly entertaining day, as we moved from round robin towards the finals. The final round robin results were:
Canterbury 8 v 0 Waikato           Bopland 1 v 2 North Auckland.
 
The semi finals were a repeat of the final round, producing two highly competitive matches.
A constantly improving Waikato side held Canterbury to only be down by 1-0 at halftime. However, Canterbury ended up taking the match 5-0, and booked their place in the final.
Bopland and North Auckland played a nail-biter in their semi final. Ending 1-1 at the end of regulation time, the game went into extra time. Neither team managed to break the other's defence, so the game went to a penalty shoot-out. North Auckland ended up being victorious, winning 1-1 (3-2 p).
 
This means that Final's games will be,
Bopland v Waikato in the third-place playoff, and
Canterbury v North Auckland in the final.
Day three is set to be an exciting day as players also get their final chance to push their cases for national selection.
 
Finals results
3rd Bopland v Waikato   4th.             1st Canterbury v North Auckland 2nd.
