NZ Team at Commonwealth Junior Champs, Penang

Welcome to our blog. Here you can follow our progress in Penang, Malaysia, at the 2nd Commonwealth Junior Fencing Championships.

We'll be updating this blog regularly, so check in to find out what's happening, what's coming up, what it's like in Penang, and of course, how the team is doing.

The team meets up in Auckland late on Friday 13 February, and flies to Penang via Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. We arrive in Penang on Saturday 14 Feb, late afternoon local time (5 hours behind NZ time). We have a couple of days to settle in before competition starts (and air conditioning at the venue!) with the men's epee individual on Tuesday 17 Feb.

You can send us messages of support using teamnzpenang@gmail.com. We love to get messages!!

We don't like being woken up in the night though, especially if we're competing that day or have been competing the day before. If you're thinking of calling or texting someone in the team, please do it in the NZ afternoon or evening (12 midday in NZ is 7am in Penang). We need our beauty sleep!!

More soon,
Kate Brill
Team Manager/Coach
