Teams were greeted to an overcast day at Piopio Aria Golf Club, for what shaped up to be a fantastic battle between the two clubs.

Paeroa was looking to win the Prebble Cup trophy for the 7th time having won it for the first time back in 1968, then again in 1976, 1997, 1998, 2011 & 2012. Paero were up against a Hauraki team looking at making history in claiming the converted Prebble Cup trophy for the first time in it's clubs history.

Paeroa had a great start in the morning foursome with 2 wins and 2 halves to take a 3-1 lead into the afternoon singles matches. Hauraki came out strong in the first singles match with Karl Mapson beating Stephen Morrison to bring it back to 3-2, but in the next 5 matches Paeroa was able to get 4 wins and a half to have the trophy locked away for 2024.

Final score Paeroa 7.5 - Hauraki 4.5.
