Winners:
Congratulations to Carol Neeley (Kamo) who won the Women's Open Singles at Mangawhai when she defeated Anne Bateman (Hikurangi) in the final.
Congratulations to Gordon Bond, Dean McMurchy, Joe Thorburn, George Lyddiard (Kensington) who defeated the local combination skippered by Wog Wintle (Mangawhai) in the final.
Both winners will represent Northland in the New Zealand final of the Club Championships later in the season.
The centre events manager advises that section play for the upcoming Centre Triples and Fours has been altered to three games for section play, two or three wins to qualify.
This will mean fewer hours on the green to qualify on day one, and should result in more teams qualifying for day two.
The centre triples for men and fours for women will be held this weekend (28 to 29 November).
