For those of you looking for photos, a few more RSA vs NZL shots have been posted to the WWG info site, alongside some athletics and archery photos from the Games. If you're here to check out results, I'll refer you to this page of our site instead: World Wheelchair Games results.
The two Canadian teams are gaining a lot of international experience and exposure to this level of competition, which is what we came here for. Final results from pool play have our teams 3rd and 6th, both with positive +/- scores.
1. NZL Kea 6-0 ; 232-160 ; +72
2. United States 5-1 ; 250-187 ; +63
3. CAN Nordiques 4-2 ; 212-177 ; +35
4. NZL Kaka 3-3 ; 189-201 ; -12
5. Great Britain 2-4 ; 204-216 ; -12
6. CAN Ice 1-5 ; 192-187 ; +5
7. South Africa 0-6 ; 128-279 ; -151
Today's games sets up a re-match between the two North American powerhouses from the US and Canada, while the two Kiwi teams fight it out to become the top bird. Meanwhile, on the other side of the table, GB, the Ice, and the big South Africans will pound each other to see which team comes out with 5th place honours. The Ice lost 1-point games against Kaka and the Brits (sounds like a bad garage band name), and had a very respectable game against the #2 Americans, but those losses put them on the unfriendly side of the tableau, as only the top-4 teams have a chance to win the whole thing.
