AN Eastland team will travel to Feilding this weekend for the first round of the 2019 inter-association super veterans’ Division 2 badminton competition.
Last year Eastland were seventh in the competition. This weekend they play Oroua, who did not win a tie last year, and new team Wellington North.
Eastland team members are Kevin Lee from the Gisborne Badminton Club; Ron Prebble, Kevin Taylor, Sheree Gray, Linda White, Annabelle Riwaka and Ruth Ledger, from the Patutahi club; and Matheus Batlajeri, a loan player from Manawatu. Non-travelling reserve is Bruce Ledger.
Helen Morley, a member of the team last year, has retired from competitive badminton, and loan player Ivor Holland, from Thames Valley, had to withdraw from the team.
