| | MWGI V WELLINGTON
 Led by Ewan Westergaard with two wins at number one, the senior team have beaten Wellington for the first time in event history. The day started well with a 9-3 morning victory in the reverse singles. In a gutsy afternoon performance the team backed up the morning by winning 6.5-5.5, a trashing by all accounts. Unbeaten on the day with two wins were Westergaard(1), Josh Munn(3), Malcolm Wells(6), Regan Cording(9), Patrick Harold(10) and Matthew Preston(11). Tyler Hodge (4) recorded two halves.
The Junior side turned a 1.5-4.5 loss in the morning into a 3.5-2.5 win in the afternoon. Each player managed to record points for the team in a great team effort.
The Masters were beaten 2-4 and 1-5 with debutant Glen Neal turning in two sub par rounds to be unbeatean. Barry Shannon recorded the other team point in the morning round.
Wellington won the event 35-25 but the sensational effort of the senior side ensured the team felt like they had had a victory. The teams will now face off against Taranaki, Wellington and Hawke's Bay in October for the Shand Cup.

Wellington Match - Levin GC - August 9th
RESULTS
 Manawatu Wanganui sent 4 teams to the Levin Golf Club on Sunday to play matches against a strong Wellington selection.
Man Wang were well beaten in the Senior Men, but suffered narrow losses in the Under 19 and Women's matches. The Masters Men had a meritorious win.
Trent Munn in the Senior Men, Jesse Sextus in the Under 19's, Carol Leary in the Women and Tony Chettleburgh in the Masters Men were the only unbeaten players on the day.
The senior men lost 9 - 3 in the morning with Regan Cording and Stuart Smith having wins and the Munn brothers, Trent and Josh, recording halves. In the afternoon round Trent Munn, Lachie McDonald and Ewan Westergaard had wins with Tyler Hodge and Michael Atkins halving their matches for an 8 - 4 loss.
The Under 19 Team had a well earned win in the morning by 3 1/2 - 2 1/2 with wins to Adam Wallace, Kaylin Huwyler and Daniel Newlands and a half to Jesse Sextus. Unfortunately they could not continue this form in the afternoon losing 4 1/2 - 1 1/2. Isaac Durie won his match and Jesse Sextus again recorded a half.
The Masters Men's team had an excellent win in the morning round 3 1/2 - 2 1/2. Peter Bull and Kieran Corkill, on their home course, and Tony Chettleburgh all had wins with a fighting half to Marty Field. The afternoon round was shared 3 - 3 with Tony Chettleburgh and Peter Bull making it doubles and Malcolm Wells having a win.
The Women's team, having its first outing in these matches, drew 3 - 3 in the morning round with wins to Carol Leary, Caroline Scott and Jill Hall. Again they were unable to keep their form in the afternoon going down 3 1/2 - 2 1/2. Winners were Keita Durie and Jill Hall (by default) with a half to Carol Leary.
At the end of the day Wellington ran out the overall winners by 35 1/2 matces to 24 1/2 to retain the Trophy for another year.
On what was an excellent day for golf these matches presented the Association Selectors with some interesting problems prior to the next Representative event which is the Shand Cup match to be played at Royal Wellington in October.
The course was extremely well presented and was a credit to the Host Club.
