The Finn Lowery Foundation is delighted to announce that Korban Kirk is the winner of the inaugural Finn Lowery award and scholarship, valued at $2,500. The quality of all the applications received made the decision of the trustees all the more difficult, but in the end, Korban was a clear and deserving recipient.

Korban has played water polo since he was 11 years old. His achievements in the sport include:
  • 2020 North Harbour senior men’s team, under 20 and under 18 team members.
  • 2019 NZ School Boys team – MVP
  • 2019 North Harbour under 18 men’s National Gold medallist
  • 2018 North Harbour under 16 men’s National Gold medallist and MVP
  • 2017 /2018 Westlake Boys High School Premier team MVP
  • 2018 National secondary schools’ championships– silver medallist and member of the tournament team
 
Since 2016 Korban has been a C grade referee and since 2019, he has been coaching the young elite North Harbour teams and players.

The trustees were impressed with Korban’s dedication to his chosen sport and standards of excellence achieved by him in both his performance in the pool and coaching and refereeing. The trustees were particularly impressed by Korban’s approach to challenges outside the pool, and to his commitment to furthering himself as a person.  His qualities of courage and commitment were shared by Finn, for whom the award is named.

The Trust will make the scholarship monies available to Korban this week, and Korban will be formally presented with the award at the September event for the Foundation, the details of which will be released shortly.
​
The trustees warmly congratulate Korban and look forward to hearing from him as to how the award and scholarship will be utilised to support his aspirations.
