Men’s Interclub results 9th March – Division 2 were at home to Karori and had a fantastic 14 – 1 win. Amazing!!! Only 1 singles loss preventing a clean sweep. They now sit on top of the Div 2 table with 47.5 points. Division 10 had a tough away venture at Wainuiomata securing only 3.5 points for a 10.5 – 3.5 away loss. This drops Div 10 to 3rd on the table but with a couple of home games to come the team are determined to make up any lost ground.

Lansdowne Trophy was played last Saturday. Deb Donaldson won her singles, Deb and Vicky Bain and Anna and Amy won their 4BBB matches. Anna and Deb missed Saturday’s game, but Amy, Cheycoda, Brenda and Sandra had wins in their singles and Sandra, Brenda, Amy and Cheycoda won their 4BBB, so Wairarapa had a healthy 6:3 win over Royal Wellington. The final round is at Manor Park vs Shandon. Wairarapa is only 2.5 points behind the team in #1 position, so the best of luck for 6th April.
