Regional Championships 2024
This year’s Regional Championships, previously known as the Inter-Provincials, was completed, face to face, in Wellington. Your Waikato–Bays (W-B) Team did well, and very much enjoyed the experience. This is a brief report for the benefit of members in the W-B region.
Our Team:
OPEN – Michael Ware/Hugh McGann; Liz and Blair Fisher; Jo and Sam Simpson
WOMEN – Jenna and Christine Gibbons; Kate Terry/Judy Pawson; Rebecca Osborne/Gillian Corbett
SENIORS – Rachelle Pelkman/Murray Wood; Yuzhong Chen/Gary Foidl; Di and Hugh McAlister

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.
