The tournament in association with The Station Bar & Bistro, Napier, has been held during a very typical Hawke's Bay weekend of very fine weather. Some of the contestants felt as though they were in and oven and being cooked slowly. Thank goodness for the marquees which came from the local law firm Langley Twigg.
This is a great event which was enjoyed by all the teams which came from mainly lower North Island clubs. Eighteen teams gathered for the contest.
Last years winners failed to regain the title and were knocked out during the semi-finals. Pool play from the first day established the top 8 to vi for the championship title for 2020.
Here are the results of the weekends play.
