Our Opening Day on 3rd September was a great success with a good turnout from existing members and a number of prospective new members attending.

Our men bowlers had their first competitive outing on 24th October in the Gough Shield and Hutt Valley Banner competitions. We were runners up in the Gough Shield, narrowly missing the top spot on count back and finished mid table in the Hutt Valley Banner.
We hosted Plimmerton on 25th September for our annual challenge for the Charlie Don Shield, which was rearranged from the previous weekend. An 8-4 win saw us regain the Shield!
The regular weekly Skills Training evenings started on 27th September.
On 1st October our men bowlers hosted Hutt for our annual challenge. We couldn't repeat our success over Plimmerton with a 5-13 loss ensuring that the Shield eluded our grasp.
