Consistency pays off with women’s fours bronze medal

Congratulations to the Kensington women's four of Fisha Murray, Skye Renes, Sue Rokstad and Ann Herbert who completed the 2021-22 season by claiming a bronze medal in the NZ Champion of Champions.

The team performed outstandingly well and consistency paid off for them in placing in this event.

The winners were the strong combination from Takapuna Club representing North Harbour.

In the men's division Northland was represented by the Arapohue Club and although they did not qualify for post-section play, played well. The men's division was won by Paritutu of Taranaki.

This team was a mixture of experience and youth.

The information f or next season’s hand book is now at the printers. A copy will be forwarded to all clubs for proof reading shortly.

The Centre AGM was held last weekend with 16 of 18 clubs represented. Ann Muir QSM was reelected president. The board is one member short and this position will be appointed by the board itself.

Special thanks were extended to retiring board members Gwen Lawson QSM and Robert McLean for their service to the centre over many years.
