Trans-Tasman Throws Pentathlon Postal Challenge is On Again
New Zealand Masters Athletics have thrown down the challenge again this year for Australian Masters throwers to challenge their New Zealand counterparts. During the month of August, throwers on both sides of the Tasman compete with the results being consolidated by NZMA and certificates awarded.

Are Queenslanders going to show the Kiwis who are the better throwers?

We need you to compete to uphold our National pride - let alone beat the other States as well. It all happens at the Gold Coast track (Griffith University) on Sunday 22nd August. For just $15.00 ($10.00 Entry Fee and $5.00 Ground Fees) you get your Throws Pentathlon competition, a participation medal, a certificate from NZMA, a sausage sizzle and best of all, the chance to show who’s boss!

So, mark it in your calendar NOW and send in the Entry Form without delay!
