Successful Waikato Bays novice tournament held

Matamata hosted the successful Waikato Bays Novice Tournament - for many the first opportunity to play a two session tournament under relaxed direction. A total of 6 tables were in play and the winners were Janice Wilton and Megan Jolly from Hamilton albeit with a Matamata link (Janice is the neice of Lynette Morgan and Zelda Clements) who had a good morning capped by a great afternoon session. With the win today they also secured free entry into the Congress Novice event to be held at the New Zealand Congress in Hamilton in October.
