11 Jan 2018 – The ultimate goal for New Zealand’s teams at the World Junior B Championships in Finland this week was to medal and so earn entry to the main event, the World Junior Championships 2018.
Although both sides narrowly missed out on achieving that goal, they are upbeat about their improvement and looking forward to going a step further next year.
The NZ Women – Jessica Smith, Holly Thompson, Emma Sutherland, Courtney Smith and Mairi-Bronte Duncan, with coach Nelson Ede – came desperately close.
