The original tournament was reduced to singles only with the doubles not attracting sufficient teams. Twelve players representing Canterbury, South Canterbury and Southland enjoyed the fine but windy weather on Sunday with the final two rounds played on Monday in cooler temperatures. After day one many of the players had won two games and it was all going to rest on the games on Monday. 

The winner from each block progressed to the final; congratulations to two of our new AC players Geoff Price and Carolyn Smith. Unfortunately most of the game was played in the rain with both players showing improvement and both changing handicaps.

 The winner of the tournament and bringing the trophy to Canterbury for the first time is – Geoff Price, Cashmere and well deserved runner-up Carolyn Smith, Akaroa. 

Congratulations to you both
