Hosted by the Hawke’s Bay Fire Service Sports Club, the rugby section of the tournament will be at Tremain Field and the Old Boys Marist clubrooms. The netball venue is yet to be confirmed, depending on the number of teams entered. Most brigades will have received an information pack at the Hamilton tournament last year. Anyone else wanting to put together teams for the events listed below – and enjoy a fun-filled four days in beautiful sunshine and wine country Hawke’s Bay – can contact Graeme Day (details below). Information packs, including maps that show the venues and accommodate, are available now. 15 a-side rugby Female netball (venue to be confirmed) Golden oldies rugby Contact: Graeme Day, Hastings Brown Watch.

Malcolm McQuade of Hastings Green Watch says the tournament has been put together by those who have a keen interest in cricket: “Not necessarily any good at it, but just enjoy getting out in the summer sun with a bat, ball, and beer. We have tried to accommodate all styles of cricketers, both bad and crap.” Interested players should register soon as numbers are strictly limited and accommodation in Hawke’s Bay is at a premium during this time of the year. The Bluewater Hotel is sponsoring this event so email Rodney Green at www.bluewaterhotel.co.nz for accommodation bookings (leave a contact phone number) and he will sort you out. Registration forms are on Firenet. If you need more help or information, contact malcolm.mcquade@fire.org.nz or 027 2703296.
