Congratulations to Evan Little on his 4th place in A Grade (292.12) at the Bulls Open Champs held at Palmerston North on Saturday.
It is great to see our new members getting involved with target changing and learning to mark.
The interclub draw is nearing finalisation. Brooklyn have a bye across all grades in Round 1 on Monday 1 May, so our first match will take place in Round 2 on Tuesday 28 May. Teams will be selected approximately 10 days prior to a match. If you do not wish to be considered for selection for interclub matches, please let me know.
Next week we will be undertaking our cleaning duties at 5.45pm. Please bring buckets and cleaning cloths, mops and vacuum cleaners. The more people able to help with this task, the quicker it will be completed.
Wellington are hosting a match against Horowhenua on Sunday 30 April from 1pm until approximately 4.30pm. We will attempt to set up our club equipment on the far side of the room as space permits during the afternoon so that our training session can get underway as close to 4.30pm as possible.
