The Waipu Pickleballers ventured down from the north through the newly-opened Brynderwyns to take on a fired up Mahurangi Pickleball team at Mahurangi College recently.
Home advantage paid off big time with Mahurangi scoring a comfortable win.
This was the first challenge between these two clubs. Mahurangi is one of the earliest formed clubs in NZ – one of its original members, Matt Tawhio, played in the team – and this experience shone through against the newly-formed 18-month-old Waipu club. They will surely be a force in the future.
Congratulations to the two winners of the impressive Shot of the Day trophies, Mahurangi’s Kevin Smith and Waipu’s Moira Patterson, who executed two amazing shots.
A most enjoyable day’s pickleball.
