TEAMS OF TEN 2020 - CANCELLED
[21st April 2020]
Teams of Ten 2021
The Teams of Ten event will be be hosted by the Manawatu Association in 2021, with the 2020 event now being officially cancelled. .
Thank you Taranaki for your prompt response to Manawatu's request to host the 60th anniversary team shoot.
Taranaki will shift to hosting in 2022. Of course this all depends on the Covid 19 situation.
Stay safe everyone
Kind regards

[March 19th 2020]
Firstly apologies to those Associations who have not had time to discuss Teams of Ten. In a rapidly changing situation, the Government announced today (19th March) the ban on gatherings of more than 100 people indoors. This has forced our decision to postpone the holding of ToT in May 2020.
However the majority of Associations have replied to me and were in agreement with postponing the Teams of Ten.
The next step is to look at the possibility for either holding the ToT match later in 2020 or holding it over until May 2021.This depends on the progression of the Covid-19 virus.
Thank you all for your comments. It is apparent that the TOT competition is highly regarded in the shooting calendar.

Secretary, North Island Smallbore Rifle Association
The Teams of Ten (North Island) and Andrew & Faulkner (South Island) matches are the Islands' premier Indoor Associaton matches. Venues vary each year and teams are selected by each Association, with the Teams of Ten match being shot annually in May, and the Andrew & Faulkner in July. The winning North Island and South Island Association teams then compete against each other for the Candyman Cup later in the year. (For Andrew & Faulkner information, go to the INDOOR/ANDREW & FAULKNER page)
The Candyman Cup was donated in 1981 by Doug Linkhorn, proprietor of “Empire Confectionery”, for competition
between the winners of the North Island’s “Rees Scroll” at Teams of Ten, and the “South Island’s “Andrew & Faulkner Shield” shoots.
The 2019 match was shot between Manawatu and Mid Canterbury, with Manawatu taking the win by a well-deserved 69 points.
