Who Are the Falcons

Like our native New Zealand Falcon, the Kārearea, we reside in and represent the central North Island region, a region woven together by the majestic central mountain ranges. The Falcon is the fastest predator on earth with impeccable vision. They are ﬁercely territorial and their attacks against intruders are as calculated as they are ferocious. Well known for attacking with aggressive strikes, as ‘birds of prey’ they are unafraid of taking down targets bigger than themselves. That sounds like us! And beware! As FALCONS we predominantly feed on live prey. For us, it tastes better that way!

Black Sticks Named for Oceania Olympic Qualifier in Hobart
21 September, 2011 Media release Black Sticks named for Oceania Olympic Qualifier in Hobart The Black Sticks national coaches have named their teams for the 2011 Oceania Olympic Qualifier to be played in Hobart from 6-9 October, 2011. The Oceania region has two Olympic allocations courtesy of world rankings for both men and women and with Fiji having pulled out it gives Australia and New Zealand automatic qualification to the London Olympics. The qualifier will now be a three test series between the two rival teams. The national coaches say the qualifier will be more about getting further test experience against Australia and gaining valuable world ranking points. Black Sticks Women’s coach Mark Hager has named an experienced team, selecting the same 18 players who beat Australia in pool play and went on to win bronze at the 2011 Champions Trophy in July in Amsterdam. “This will be a hard fought series against a top team - there is so much rivalry between these two sides. With us ranked sixth and Australia ranked seventh, we will need to win the series in order to hold our position,” says Hager. Black Sticks Men’s coach Shane McLeod has chosen a very experienced men’s team with players like Phil Burrows, Blair Hopping and Dean Couzins – all who rack up a total 730 test caps. This will be the opportunity to take on world champions Australia, which will be invaluable in their build up to the Champions Trophy being held at North Harbour in early December. “This Olympic qualifier forms a key component of our preparation towards Champions Trophy and will allow us to test our game against a world champion, gold medal team.

Junior Black Sticks Teams Announced
22 September 2011 Media Release Junior Black Sticks teams announced The Under 21 Junior Black Sticks teams have been announced after being put through their paces at a camp held in Papatoetoe this week. The camp was part of Hockey New Zealand’s new Owen G Glenn Future Black Sticks Programme, with Under 21 national coaches Chris Leslie (women) and Grant Edwards (men) selecting the 18 best players from the squads of 30, which were announced in May after the National U21 Tournament. “Key factors that formed the basis of selection, were identifying players that have core skills, are physically capable, are coachable and can follow instructions, as well as having the ability to play at intensity and who can counter attack quickly,” says Under 21’s women’s coach Chris Leslie. Players named in the women’s team include current Black Sticks Amelia Gibson, Samantha Charlton, Julia King and Rhiannon Dennison. They are joined by three up and coming players, midfielder player Shareena Nana and strikers Natasha Cotton and Tara Hall. The women’s team first and only international competition for this year will be in India at the Lal Bahadur Shastri Under-21 Four Nation Women's Hockey Tournament, from 8-12 November. The 18 players named in the Junior Black Sticks Men, include current Black Sticks Squad players Shay Neal, and Kane Russell, along with Development players, midfielder Nick Ross and defender Dwayne Rowsell. Jared Panchia (17), the youngest player in the team and younger brother to Black Sticks player Arun Panchia, has also made the cut.

Sir Peter Leitch Club at MT SMART STADIUM, HOME of the MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS
Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 26th September 2018 Newsletter #237 And Then There Were Two By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HE MELBOURNE Storm and the Roosters, the sides that finished one and two this year, will contest the Tgrand final. I am conflicted. My grandson is a Roosters fan, and nearly swallowed his ears when Joseph Manu gave him his boots after the win over the Bunnies. There was talk of the grandparents nipping over to go to the final to share the experience with him but that’s not going to happen. On the one hand I hate the Roosters. On the other, I hate the Storm too. This causes no end of annoyance to various people at the Storm, who actually read my rants, but truth be known the hatred is purely jealousy. They are the club we all aspire to be, brilliant, consistent, great to watch and in Cameron Smith and Billy Slat- er they have the two best players of a generation. Until Cooper Cronk buggered off to the Roosters they had three. And now we find Slater’s participation in the grand final has been confirmed. Conflicted I said, hell yes. I’m glad he will get to go out on a high and sign off on a wonderful career in the biggest game of all. On the other hand, he should not have got away with it. No surprise there is now hell on.
