Talented Wanganui boccia player Diederik Striujck will use the upcoming Lower North Island Championships in Wellington as a springboard to higher honours.

Hosted by Parafed Wellington, at the ASB Sports Stadium Kilbirnie, on April 20-21, the event is designed to allow Paralympians and promising players to hone their skills in what is the first sanctioned tournament of the year.

Striujck is currently honing his skills to gain valuable ranking points from this tournament as he looks to push for selection for the national team. Although having only played the game for just over a year, Striujck has shown he has the potential and skills to succeed after coming 11th at last year’s New Zealand National Championships in Christchurch.
