A touring Ki-o-Rahi team from New Zealand is coming to Enfield on the weekend of 18 / 19 September and will be visiting Bramley Road to coach and display their sport on Sunday, 19 September 2010.

All club members are welcome to take part. A haka will be performed for all to see. Please contact Jacky Shutler for further details – shutler4@tiscali.co.uk

Ki-o-rahi is a ball sport played by Maori in New Zealand. It is played with a small round ball called a 'ki'. The game is not widely known but is played in Northland and in scattered locations throughout the country. The game resembles rugby, touch, netball, basketball and Australian rules football. It is a fast-paced sport incorporating skills similar to rugby union, netball and touch. Two teams of seven players play on a circular field divided into zones, and score points by touching the 'pou' (boundary markers) and hitting a central 'tupu' or target.

Please stay and take part and / or welcome our New Zealand visitors on Sunday, 19 September.
