Some of our biggest sporting stars brought some much-needed Christmas cheer to Kidz First Hospital patients on Saturday afternoon.
Warriors' stars joined big names from the Blues and New Zealand Breakers at the kids' hospital's annual Christmas party at the SkyCity Convention Centre this afternoon. Two hundred smiling day care patients were lavished with presents from Santa before winning the hearts of the sportsmen at the event.
Warriors' centre Konrad Hurrell tweeted a photo of himself getting his face painted by a young girl.
"Thank you Sophie for painting my face to make it look better lol one of the reasons I love my job."
