Well done Ray and Rich!

Congratulations to Ray Martin (in a very solid debut performance) and Rich Corry (who also co-selected the side) and the rest of the Hutt Valley Paterson Trophy team for winning the zone 4 indoor bowls intercentre event for a third year running and qualifying for the national intercentre finals (called the Welch Trophy) to be played at home in the Hutt on September 3rd-5th. This is a demanding event with each player playing 15 games made up of fours, singles and pairs in a test of focus, skill and endurance over a weekend. Hutt Valley will host Auckland, Waikato, North Taranaki, Canterbury and Otago in the national finals.
