Shand Salver comes down to the last game-

Summer hung on for another day at Marton Golf Club with temperatures topping out at 27 degrees, some of the golf on the course matched the temperature. 

The event played recently.

The Wellington Development teams eased away to win the Quadrangular.  in the morning against Hawkes Bay, they won 7 1/2 - 2 1/2 and 9 - 1 in the afternoon round against Manawatu Wanganui.  The team went through the event undefeated.  Taranaki finished runner up.

Taranaki put themselves in a prime position to win the Shand Salver defeated defending champions Manawatu Wanganui 3 -1 in the morning round, while the Hawkes Bay and Wellington match finished all square.  That put Taranaki on 4 points with Hawkes Bay the only team able to catch them on two points, and both teams playing each other in the afternoon.  Hawkes Bay was not going to go down easily and going to the last remaining match had sown up the two points for winning the tie and also pulled level on total matches.  The last match tipped Taranaki's way for them to win the Shand Salver by half a match.

Many of the player's focus now moves to the Manawatu Wanganui Age Group Championships starting on Thursday morning at Rangitikei Golf Club.
