Anne McGregor and Ernie Sutton won the Surfers Paradise Congress Pairs and then the Teams with Francie Sheehy and Peter Mountain (both Oamaru) on 20/21 July.

Congratulations to Ross, Phil, Hamish and Ernie on qualifying to represent Otago/Southland in the Inter-Provincial Finals to be held in Christchurch in November. Ross & Ernie will be in the 4-man Open team and Hamish & Phil will be in the 4-man Seniors team. This is the second successive year that Hamish and Phil have been representatives, having qualified for the Open team last year. Anne narrowly missed out on the Ladies team this year but has been a representative on many occasions in the past.
