Winner – Freda Walker (Christchurch Football)
2nd – Karen Walton (Christchurch)
3rd – Maree Smith (Takaka)
All three finalists were a significant part of the Canterbury Masters team who finished 2nd at this year National Championships.
Maree put in several gutsy performances for Canterbury at the event; losing to Jeanie Yeals 11-9 in the 5th against Wgtn (2 very crucial games to win on countback), beating ex NZ Junior Kristen Wilson 3/1 against BOP - this was a valuable win. Maree just kept getting better with each match in the team’s event.
Both Freda and Karen also represented NZ in the 2019 Trans-Tasman test series, which took place prior to the Master’s Individual Championships in Timaru.
At NZ Individual Masters Championships Freda was crowned the 65+ Champion and Karen was the 60+ runner-up at the NZ Individual Masters Championships.
Freda was also the runner-up in the Australia Masters 65+.
