Many congratulations to Murray Lobb on winning the Wellington Region Junior League 2025 with 69 points.

Craig Jackson was in second place with 49 points.

Importantly, this is the third consecutive year in which a Waikanae player has won this title, and the second consecutive year in which a Waikanae player has also placed second.

Very well done gentlemen!

Our annual half day Junior tournament took place on Sunday 2nd November.

The event was very well supported with 15 full tables and players from a wide range of clubs from as far afield as Palmerston North and Wellington. 24 Waikanae members entered the event, including a significant number of our novice players - well done to them.

The event was won by the novice pairing of Miriam Tankersley and Victoria Liddicoat from Palmerston North - a great effort from such a young pairing. In second place were Julie Affleck and Steve Parsons from Otaki, and 3rd were our own Di Andrews and Phil Gavey.

Outside the top three, the top Novice/Novice pair were David Chalmers (Waikanae) and Corinda Taylor (Paraparaumu) and the top Junior/Novice pair were Ellie Molloy and Angus Kirtlan (Hutt).

Many congratulations to all the winners.

Thank you to everyone for your support - I hope you enjoyed your afternoon.
