The BOP Interclub teams, played for the Ib Thulin Shield, took place on Saturday at Rotorua, and was a very enjoyable day. Six clubs from the Bay of Plenty took part – Rotorua, Tauranga, Mt Maunganui, Whakatane, Te Puke and TaupÅ, each with teams of Open, Intermediate and Junior players, thus giving players of varying experience the chance to represent their clubs.
Unfortunately no Rotorua teams won their grade or went though to the next round this year, but we did finish third overall, behind Mt Maunganui (1st) and Tauranga (2nd). Congratulations to the Mount! Also, the local pair of Joyce Reid and Cathy Ward, playing in the Intermediates, were the top scoring pair overall in the Butler Pairs. See the results page for the full list of placings.
Many thanks to Heini, who was director for the day, Colleen and Rowan in the kitchen and Ian and Pam Moore, who helped with the organisation. They all did a great job in ensuring the day ran smoothly and everyone had a good time.
