Sunday 6^th November – Stableford

Our club was host to the annual Junior Eagles Triangular matchplay tournament on Sunday 6^th November. We had teams of young people representing Manawatu-Wanganui, Hawkes Bay, Wellington and Taranaki regions. The winners of the Barry Ashwell Memorial Cup were Taranaki with 21½ wins, Wellington was second on 18½ just half a point ahead of Hawkes Bay. Unfortunately, the local team was unable to field a full team and finished 4 points adrift in 4^th place. Thanks to those who helped in any way to run the day, Pam Bisset in the office, and Pam Huddleston who led the team of ladies that fed the masses throughout the day.
