Queen's Birthday Sport
The weather for the numerous sporting activities in Gisborne during the Queen's Birthday weekend was far from the best. Rugby, soccer, basketball, golf, and hockey teams played in a blustery sou'wester with frequent rain showers.
Below are pictures taken at Childers Road Reserve where soccer and hockey tourneys were in progress.
