WAP Reports for 2025

WAP2 Another full room at Te Aroha - 17 tables again and a great atmosphere. Winners on the day were Rochelle Van Heuven and Tim Rigter from the home club. It's close at the top of the overall but with only two heats played that's not surprising. Things should be clearer after Cambridge - and remember it's the best four results that count and one sub is allowed.

WAP1 The WAPs got off to a great start in Matamata. 17 tables, great atmosphere, good organisation and generous hospitality from the host club.

Intermediate League Wraps Up

Submitted by sitemaster on Mon, 2024/10/21 - 12:57pm

After seven rounds of the Waikato-Bays Intermediate League, last year's winners' names could have been engraved on the handsome (rapidly-turning-into) gold (but-it-used-to-be-silver) trophy before Sunday's final at Cambridge. Leanne Curry and Megan Jolly of Hamilton shared first-equal placings with 32 points earned over eight events. Third equal were John Little and Graeme Saunders from the Waikato club with 24 points narrowly ahead of Marcus Dudley on 23 and Bettina Dudley of Te Puke on 20. Although they are Individual series the Leagues certainly show up the values of practiced partnerships.
