Huge congratulations to Kim and Karen who won the CB SIxes Intermediate competition. The pressure was on from after round one when they obtained the lead. By the end of round 5 they had succeeded in five significant wins . So when they entered the last round they were 12 VPs ahead of their closest opponents and while they did have their first loss that round, they had done enough to hang on! They were particularly delighted as they came second last year. Photo to follow.
Congratulations to Mike and Ella who won the final WAPs in Morrinsville today, which gave them enough to come second but not quite enough to win the overall trophy which was won by Lesley Quilty and Sonia Crawford of Morrinsville.

Wonderful to see Dayelle and Ruth take Silver in the Hamilton Intermediate today. Congratulations to them! They won the morning session and did enough in the second one, only squeezed by 0.6% from first position in the standings.
See this article for the results of last night's second session of The Great Boat Race. The result was really close with Cambridge easing just ahead of Tauranga.
