Awesome results from Thames Festival

thames winners: Noel Griggs, Grant Jarvis & Ken Yule

A great result for Matamata trio - Noel, Kathy and Ken who teamed up with Grant Jarvis from Auckland to win the prestigious John Eldridge Teams event at the first major tournament of 2017 in Thames.

Unfortunately Kathy was absent from the photos and my efforts to photoshop her into the photo above were less than convincing ... probably best to just refer to her photo in the following blog for reference.

Well done you three - great to have Matamata on the podium...It was also encouraging to see around 12 other members from Te Aroha and Matamata taking part in the tournament which attracts around 140 players from the greater North Island. This included juniors taking part in the 8B multigrade teams as well as others in the open teams and walk in pairs.
