Art Deco Competition, Hawkes Bay
February 16t 17	Competition was fierce at the recent Art Deco Competition in Hawkes Bay. The Northern men's team came 3rd in the Men's A division against the fired up Wellington Knights and Palmerston North Vikings. Extra games were held in an attempt to prepare the squads for Australian competition, but this was of limited advantage to Northern men, many of whom consider the Easter competition to be an introduction to International competition. In the Women's Grade, Wellington Sirens beat Auckland's Vesta to gain the Women's title, after claiming a well earned scalp in the Men's B Grade. Sirens made history by being the first Women's team to win a Men's B Grade title at the competition and all eyes must surely be on the NZ Women's Squad selections, to be held on Queen's Birthday Weekend in June.
