Matamata Open well supported


By Anna Kalma - Posted on 28 July 2019

The Matamata 5A was well supported by both players (40 pairs packed the clubrooms) and club members who helped in a myriad of ways. Great catering, sponsorship from J Swap as well as Sonia Crawford donating wines for the session winners.

Winners following two session wins were Te Puke's Christine Gibbons with Waikato's Jenna Gibbons.
