Waikanae Junior Pairs

Our annual half day Junior tournament took place on Sunday 2nd November.

The event was very well supported with 15 full tables and players from a wide range of clubs from as far afield as Palmerston North and Wellington.  24 Waikanae members entered the event, including a significant number of  our novice players - well done to them.

I would like to thank everybody who contributed to a great day, but in particular:

  • Chris Farrow for his excellent organisation of the event and for also handling the scoring (which was not without incident!)
  • Anne Ricketts for directing in her usual calm and relaxed manner
  • Vicky Young and Roz King for the catering
  • Rae Lutman, Ady Dale and Fiona McDonald-Bates for their general assistance and running the bar

The event was won by the novice pairing of Miriam Tankersley and Victoria Liddicoat from Palmerston North - a great effort from such a young pairing.  In second place were Julie Affleck and Steve Parsons from Otaki, and 3rd were our own Di Andrews and Phil Gavey.  

Outside the top three, the top Novice/Novice pair were David Chalmers (Waikanae) and Corinda Taylor (Paraparaumu) and the top Junior/Novice pair were Ellie Molloy and Angus Kirtlan (Hutt).

Many congratulations to all the winners.

Thank you to everyone for your support - I hope you enjoyed your afternoon.
