KAYLA SHARLAND & BLACK STICKS WOMENS HOCKEY TEAM 4. SOUTH AFRICA 1 – LONDON OLYMPICS 2012
New Zealand’s women’s hockey team remain unbeaten at the Olympic Games after beating South Africa 4-1.
A dominant first half performance gave the women’s Black Sticks a 3-0 lead at the break, and they did enough to maintain the margin during the second half.
The victory followed a 1-0 win over Australia two days ago and maintains their 100 per cent record.
As they did against Australia two days ago, the Black Sticks were on the board very early.
New Zealand took the lead with a cleverly-worked penalty corner in the second minute, Charlotte Harrison deflecting in a pass from Kayla Sharland from close range.

KO NGAPUHI ONA IWI – HOCKEY’S HARRISON SISTERS OLYMPIANS & FRIENDS
While high profile Maori leaders like Sir Eddie Drurie and also their own people, are battling to export their water products to the world from specific water sources (and fix their leaky taps situation), Charlotte Harrison and Sam Harrison are prepping for an Olympics show down.
The stunning Northland family of top athletes are Olympics fit for the New Zealand’s Black Sticks hockey team.
Sign us all up for the Harrison fan club of the Ngapuhi Iwi Maori tribe of NZ. And go Te Taitokerau and Kiwi athletes in London 2012 representing Aotearoa New Zealand with their fun team.
Harrison smart water on the hockey field? That would work in the USA.
The Harrisons are from Te Tai Tokerau Northland, their waka is Ngatokimatawhaorua. Their home is the birthplace of a nation, the place where New Zealand’s founding document was signed. Good ambassadors are these girls of that. Good luck! :)
