The was held last week with a number of players from Mairangi Bay entered.

Traditionally, the weather was a mixed bag with the strong gusty winds making life difficult, luckily much of the predicted heavy rain did not eventuate.

Games were spread over a number of clubs in North Harbour with Mairangi Bay being allocated two days of play.

Many thanks to our members who helped make this happen.

This year’s event was much bigger and also much stronger with more players coming from outside the North Harbour area.

So to make any final event was a big achievement.
