N.Z. B Grade Indoor Basketball Champs
Thirteen teams from all over New Zealand competed in the national B grade women's indoor basketball championships at Nelson. Our own team did quite well in its section, losing only to Mid-Canterbury, but as Mid-Canterbury had had a win over Nelson, it went on to contest the final. This was won by Feilding which went through the tournament unbeaten.
The Feilding team. Standing, M. Jessop, J. Knight, K. Gordon (coach), P. Roddick, V. Freis: front, R. Walker, D. Fields (capt), B. McDonald.
