The Next Fastest Game

The next fastest game – to chess (?) – would be squash and you've really gotta be fit for that! The Gisborne ladies' team showed that when they annexed the North Island final of the C grade teams tournament, held here in Gisborne over the weekend of August 1 and 2. A pretty good effort for a club that has been existence for only two seasons. The ladies will play off against the South Island for the national title later in the year. The men didn't do so well but better luck next time!

Dennis Smart (Napier) executes a powerful shot. He was the only Napier team member to win his final.

Ray Borley (Palmerston North) at left is congratulated by loser Eric Ball (Napier) at the end of their final.

Gisborne players Martin Jones and Ken Simpson.

The C grade ladies' team winners were, from left, Judy Hutton, Joy Rosie, Robyn Rosie and Mina Newcomb. Absent: Iris McGhee.

The club is also continuing its good record by providing the winners of the Central Districts women's inter-club tournament. From left: Jillian Roberts, Mina Newcomb and Janette Robb. Absent: Iris McGhee.
