Sailing 2019

We are looking for interest in putting team/s together for the following event, in Croatia, September 2019: In 2017 we had two Police crews attend and compete in the ICCA (International Coppers Cup Adriatica) a regatta held off the coast of Croatia. This is being held again (at another location on the Croatian coast). The event consists of about 25 to 30 teams of Police only (included retired and non-sworn) in chartered 45’ Bavaria yachts for racing over 6 days. Teams are mainly Europe based, however last year we rounded

out teams from Australia, Hong Kong, the UK and Ireland. It was a fantastic event, with post-race dock side socialising and other events arranged for partners not racing. Anyone keen to be involved can contact me through the usual channels. Happy to answer any questions. Contact Nick Davenport Nicholas.Davenport@police.govt.nz |

NZPA Tennis Champs

The Police tennis championships where held

over 2 days on March 14/15 at the

Whangaparoa Tennis Club, Whangaparoa,

Auckland.

The weather played ball with beautiful summer

weather over both days with temperatures on

court reaching around 30 degrees.

The year saw the introduction of 2 new trophies

for the men’s and women’s singles winners as

the previous ones were in need of upgrading.

New organiser Geoff KAYE from Rotorua Police

did a great job in sourcing trophies from a local

engraver and the woman’s trophy was renamed

the Wendy Wrigley Memorial trophy in

recognition of Wendy’s contribution to Police

tennis over many years.

Numbers where unfortunately down with a

number of late withdrawals and basic lethargy

from tennis players around the country. Only 3

women entered.

Next year the tournament will be returning to

the Bay of Plenty (Rotorua) where hopefully we

will see an improvement in the number of tennis

players attending as we know there are more

players out there.

Winners:

Mens singles winner: Richard Kapa (Auckland)

Runner Up: Mark Osbourne (Tauranga)

Women’s singles winner: Jo O’Connor

(Auckland)

Runner Up: Laura Peacock (Wellington)

Mens doubles winners: Richard Kapa/Glen

NZ Police Touch

On Monday 25th March the NZ Men’s and

Women’s Police Touch teams met in

Palmerston North in preparation for the

2019 Inter Services Tournament hosted

by the Army at Linton.

First time in many years that Police Touch

had been invited back to compete at the

Inter Services tournament.

Expressions of interest were sent in and

selection meetings were held to go over

the paper CV’s and the teams were

confirmed from there.

There was a lot of interest which was great.

After an introduction get together to meet

& greet each other and remember names,

a light training was held and then off to

Linton for dinner & official opening.

The tournament format was a double

round robin, so Tuesday & Wednesday each team played each other.

On day 1 the Police men beat Navy and

lost to the Army and Airforce. Tyler Sintes

suffered a knee injury in the first 5

minutes of game one and was out for the

rest of the tournament – which was a huge

loss.

The women went through winning all 3

games. No-one came close, they were

skilful, sharp and showed the other three

forces how to play good structured touch.

Day 2 the men drew to Navy, beat the

Army (which was a coup as the Army

hadn’t been beaten for years) and also

beat the Airforce. The women once again

won all 3 games convincingly.

Day 3 Thursday was the semi and finals.

Women were ranked 1 and played

Airforce who were ranked 4. They beat

them 8-0.

The men were ranked 2nd and played the

Airforce who were ranked 3rd. Police lost

the game 13-11, in a try fest with literally no defence on either side.

The men then played the Navy for 3rd & 4th

place and beat them convincingly placing 3rd.

The Army once again came through and took out the Men’s title.

In the women’s final the police took apart

the Army and beat them 5-2, taking out

the Inter-Services women’s title. This was

the first time in many years the Army had been beaten.

Constable Melissa Shaw from Christchurch

was named the female MVP of the

tournament.

The Inter-Service Women’s tournament

team included Police members – Melissa

Shaw, Jessy Raukawa, Holly Cameron,

Paige Keith, Kathryn Hose & Ashlee Gaby-

Sutherland.

The Inter-Services Men’s tournament team

included Police members – Scott Turner,

Cameron Plant and Mike McQuarrie.

Feedback from the Army, Navy and

Airforce was all extremely positive with

having included the Police teams into the

tournament. And planning has started

looking at the 2020 Inter Services

Tournament.

A huge thank you to Dave and Police Sport for the guidance and support.

Also, to Heather and the Police Association for their support.

NZPA Police Pistol Biathlon

NZPA Police Pistol - Biathlon, Saturday 18th

May 2019

Auckland Pistol Club, Manurewa

The Police Pistol Biathlon is an international

match that is hotly contested between rival

police agencies. It features at big events like the

World Police & Fire Games. A national

championship for Police is hosted annually in

New Zealand.

The Biathlon combines cross-country running

with pistol shooting. Run too fast, get out of

breath and your shooting accuracy may suffer;

spend too long shooting and your overall time

may suffer.

This is a challenging match where the fastest

runner or the most accurate shooter is not

necessarily going to win the day. It’s a balancing

act between these two skills that will see you

through.

Guns are provided. No firearms license is

required, and friendly one-on-one supervision is

provided on the firing line on the day. No prior

experience is needed other than familiarity with

the safe operation of the Glock 17 semi-

automatic pistol.

The runs are brief, and the targets are generous,

give this match a go with your mates for a great

days shooting with some fitness thrown in. This

is a

unique event that you will not find elsewhere.

The Biathlon format is:

Run 1.6km, Shoot 12 rounds, Run 1.6km, Shoot

12 rounds, Run 1.6km.

Come along and experience the fun of shooting

while at near maximal heart rate. See what it

does to your group size. Fun !!

NZPA TRIATHLON

OHOPE BEACH 28th MARCH 2019

This year’s event was staged as a stand alone

event for Police members both past and present

with the theme being about participation and

fostering Police camaraderie.

The race was run by the Eastern Bay of Plenty

Triathlon Club using their usual course consisting

of 750mt swim (Tri)/2km run (Duathlon), 20km

bike, 5km run.

Rain greeted the hardy souls that fronted to

Ohope on Thursday 28th March.

Numbers were down as some members were

drawn away to work in Christchurch.

The swim started with a 750mt swim along the

inner harbour back to transition. At the same

time the Duathlon competitors started there 2

km run.

The bike course consisted of 2 x 10km laps of

Ohope which was great as there was limited

traffic which helped as it was pretty wet.

By the time of the run and as Murphy’s Law

would have it the rain stopped, and it started to

clear.

There was some confusion where the run

turnaround was but for those that paid attention

at the briefing, they had no problems.

The prize giving was held at the Ohope Club

which enabled people to mingle and meet other

staff from other Districts.

We are looking for someone to host the 2020

National Championships
