Tournament successes

Well done to Joanne Swanwick and Judith Howard who prevailed in the Waikato Bays Intermediate League to top the field and take home their share of the $1080 dollars on offer.

They had a nervous wait to see whether their 8th place overall in the 8th event of the league at Cambridge was enough to seal victory over their rivals Carol Crowfoot and Sabrina Peters from Cambridge which they did in the end.

Talking about Carol Crowfoot and the Thames club, this week also saw the culmination the Gilligan Barclay Cup which is 4 session interclub played in March and October.

After four years of being bridesmaids (or thereabouts), Tim Rigter and Anna Kalma saw that Te Aroha retained the cup with a less than emphatic 46% in the last session. Luckily they had started the year with a bang and had notched up a couple of 68% which gave them enough of a buffer to keep the pack (ie Rochelle van Heuven and Hermanna Hemmes) at bay.

And it was the birthday that kept on giving … even though Anna had been celebrating for a good few days (which may have accounted for her less than stellar score in Thames). She was presented with a beautiful birthday cake at supper to celebrate her half century. She was most chuffed and thanks to Katrina who produced it.
