Gee Shield has concluded for the season. Petone Central has won the Shield.

Champion of Champion Fours held at Naenae. Our Women’s team – Sandy, Lynda, Robyn, Sharon progressed through to the Quarter finals but unfortunately lost to Stokes Valley. They were thrilled to have such support from our Club members for this event and thank all those who turned up to watch. The men defaulted from the event.
