National Age Group Title for Riley-Jack Vette-Blomquist!

The NZ Age Group Championships were held at the weekend in Auckland with Riley-Jack Vette-Blomquist winning the Under 17 Boys championship to cap off a great year for him.  Riley-Jack played Auckland’s Jack Conder in the final, winning in 4 games.  Zac Laing made it through to the final of the Under 11 boys, putting up a great flight but unfortunately just going down in 4 very tight games to Bay of Plenty’s Zezima Waitai.

Annmarie Holst, 5th in Under 19 girls

Shea Ferguson, 7th in Under 17 girls

Chelsea Traill, 7th in Under 15 girls

Cam Griffin, 10th in Under 15 boys

Josh Laing, 8th in Under 13 Boys

Tane Traill, 10th in Under 13 Boys

Pippa Saunders won the plate in the Under 19 Girls.
