It was disappointing that day 2 of the Tong Cup was cancelled due to weather. However we had an enthusiastic group turn up for morning tea and the prize giving. 

Our thanks to our sponsors Raquel Renall from the Havelock North Club and Mark Notman from HB Honda. A special thanks also to Dave Harding and the Kia Toa Bowling Club for their willing support in enabling us to expand this great tournament 👏👏
