skid wrote:they only had 4 entries and 2 of them were from their own club the other 2 were from Tararua, then one member from Tararua pulled out so there was only a total of 3 teams so the decision was made to postpone the event in the hope of getting more entries later in the year.

I think they will get more entries, but unfortunately for them, I think they have chosen the Gwavas Weekend
