December 2004 Grading Results

ITFNZ continues it's growth pattern with a 7% increase in numbers for the same grading last year. We have had a steady increase in grading numbers now since April 2002. The most spectacular increase this year was Auckland North with 213 grading compared to 174 in December the previous year. Well done AN!

"A pass" averages were well down this time with Counties Manukau topping the regions with a consistent 27% - the same score that placed them last in August.

Congratulations to Mr Kane Raukura and Dragons Spirit Papatoetoe, who following on in fine form after their success at this year's ITFNZ awards came in with the Best Club for December 2004.

Next year will see the continuation with the training of new Regional Examiners in April and August, then you can look forward to some new faces on the Examiner table in your region from December 2005.
