Fire and Emergency NZ sports council

This my friends is the Coromandel Volunteer Fire Brigade annual fishing contest! This year 167 fishermen and women including eight children under 14 competed for the major prizes of mystery weight and average snapper weight.
For the first time ever the weather made an impact with a brief subtropical front showing its face resulting in Fridays fishing being cancelled but it was all go on the Saturday with some beautiful fish being weighed at the end of the day, followed by prize giving and a lamb on a spit meal. The evening was topped off by a sensational game of rugby by the NZ Black Ferns winning the World Cup!
A huge thank you to the local Coromandel community and Hunting & Fishing Te Rapa for their support and sponsorship.

Its our absolute honour to award Turi Hodges the 2022 FENZ Sports Council Special Achievement Award!
