Final four basketball at the Arena
The best New Zealand women’s basketball has to offer will light up Te Rauparaha Arena in the coming weeks.
The Arena, home to defending champions Tokomanawa Queens, will host the professional Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa final four playoffs on 9–10 September. The semi-finals – teams still to be determined – will be at 4pm and 6pm on 9 September, with the 3 v 4 and grand final matches taking place the next day at 3.30pm and 6pm.
The Queens have one more home game at the Arena – against the table-topping Northern Kāhu on Saturday, 2 September at 3pm – before the finals.
The competition had its inaugural season last year and has a mix of homegrown stars and overseas talent in what is essentially a revamped national league that’s aim is to make women’s basketball in New Zealand stronger.
Go to their website for final four tickets and keep an eye on Porirua City Council’s Facebook page for the chance to win a double pass to the final.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?
Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
