Kia Orana to our CINZ basketball family
Hope you have all recovered and rested from the 4 day tournament last week.
Firstly we'd like to say a huge thank you to all our players for representing and building memories on and off the court this year.
Thank you to those who travelled up from down the line and to Joseph Papatua and his family for making the trip over from Melbourne!
To our Coaches and Managers Lisa & Miriama, NicK & Rose, Gary & Camella, Dylan, Ollie, Dwayne and to our new Coaches Dee, Moses and manager Liz.....
We are so greatful to you all for your time, expertise and commitment to mentoring and inspiring our athletes!
To our "die hard" parents, families and friends who endured long days with our teams, we thank you dearly for your continued support of your children and our teams.

In terms of "winning" we would like to make mention of a young Fighter by the name of Calib from Napier who is known by Anna and Xander Latulipe in our U15 prems team.
This young man underwent Chemo and we are happy to hear that has returned home with good results! He is pictured with Anna and Xander in his very own CINZ basketball jersey!
We have acknowledged him as part of our U15 boys Prems team and wish him and his family continued healing, hope and health for the future!
From our Cook Islands NZ Basketball contingent we want so say Thank you so much! Be safe for the rest of the year, have a fantastic Christmas and New year and God bless......
