Although to be fair - they revealed themselves as the team to beat early on in the competition and went into the last round in an unbeatable position after only suffering one loss during their 9 matches. Tokoroa's team of Vera Verhaegh, Christine Vukich, Willy Ryder, Diane Vonk and Graeme Farrow was the only team to beat Rotorua and achieved 2nd place on the podium. While the Crawford Team from Matamata with Ken and Kathy Yule, Sonia Crawford and Noel Griggs come in third and was the best of the Matamata contingent.

It was pleasing to see many of the same teams returning to compete in this three week competition with last year's winners Hamilton lining up against other neighbouring clubs of Morrinsville, Te Aroha and Tokoroa.

Collaborating early on to synchronise calendars worked well to enable two teams attend for the first year from Cambridge Teams and the Rotorua victors made up the field of 10 teams.

The event ran very well and the Matamata club members did an outstanding job of hosting each night with spectacular suppers!
