Waihou Shield Challenge

Congratulations to Putaruru who successfully won the Waihou Challenge Shield on Sunday afternoon. Helen Doherty and Elaine Saywell were the top scorers for Matamata and also recorded the highest score overall but the rest of the Matamata team could not match their skill. The Putaruru team played consistently and totalled 421 points while Matamata ‘s total was just 378.

Ross Provan organised and directed a system of match –play where half the team played North/South and the other half played East West and every pair played all the pairs in the opposing team. The scheme worked well and was most enjoyable. The day concluded with a lovely afternoon tea.
