Last night, the Vietnam Sans bought the Sydney Swans jumper for USD500

Last night the New Zealand Wine and Food Festival was held in Saigon.

It was another cracking event organised by the Kiwis. But last night, the Christchurch fundraising was a part of the event rather than the focus. Accordingly, the auctions didn’t generate as much interest as on the Thursday night when USD67,000 was raised. The final amount is still to be advised.

However, the Vietnam Swans did bid pick up the second Sydney Swans jumper for USD500 which had been signed by Coach Longmire and Captains Goodes and McVeigh.
