STUNNING PERFORANCE BY ALAN AND GRAHAM IN TAUPO
Many congratulations to Alan Parkes and Graham Stern who won the 5A Open title at Taupo over the weekend.
The event is played over three sessions across the weekend. They cleared 60% in their first session on Saturday afternoon and followed this up with an outstanding performance in the evening recording 71.91%. A 53.74% on Sunday morning was enough for them to take the title ahead of Hamilton's Ian Clayton playing with Alan Turner.
Melinda Wang and Catherine Cameron played well at the Matamata Junior tournament last weekend. They are currently studying the Nesting Pairs course and deployed some of their new bidding techniques to finish in 4th spot in a field of 28 pairs. Congratulations to them!
