South Pacific Games
The New Zealand Maori Sports Federation should find out in March if Maori athletes will be able to compete in the four yearly South Pacific Games. The Federation has already met with Game’s organisors and a decision on entry should be made at the March meeting of the South Pacific Games Council. Maori Sports Federation chairman, Dr Henare Broughton says the aim of the Federation is to encourage Maori participation in sport on the field as well as in administration. He sees participation in the South Pacific Games as a logical extension of this. He says strongest support for the Federation has come from the Maori Tennis Association and the Maori Golf Association, with helpful advice from the Maori Rugby Union. Other sports represented in the Federation include netball, basketball and volleyball. Two national Maori sports tournaments have already been held this summer.
