Junior Mens NRR Report ~ Craig Eustace

NZ Road Relays – Hunua, Auckland (Sept 3 2011)We arrived in Auckland just before lunchtime on Friday. After a short discussion our itinerary was prioritised. Perhaps a case of not letting truth get in the way of a good story, but the men were outvoted 5 to 7 (i.e. 5 women to 7 men) and the Newmarket shops were stop number one.
