Father and son duo, David and Daniel Hood of the Whangārei Club, represented Northland in the NZ Champion of Champion Pairs in Dunedin last weekend where they reached the semifinals before they were defeated by the eventual winners of the event.

Last weekend it was the chance of the women's fours representatives from the Kamo Club, who competed in Hamilton in the Champion of Champion Fours event.

The competition was tough and they did not qualify. However, it was well done by the Far North representatives Kaitaia RSA, skipped by Jean Huxtable, who did qualify for post-section play in the event.

This weekend is the turn of the men's fours where the Centre will be represented by the Whangārei combination of Trevor Reader, Steve Smith, Paul Price and Paul Shotter. They will be competing in Havelock North and we wish them every success.

The Umpires Association is hosting its annual winter fundraising tournament at the Hikurangi greens on Saturday, August 10.
