Anna and Jess played well against the Waikato pairing of Robertson / McAdam and beat them convincingly, 21-13, 21-19 at Matarangi yesterday. The second rubber was close but they pulled off the win well.

They then drew top seeds, the Brazilian pairing of Maestrini / Saldanha. Not surprisingly they lost this match 21-10, 21-11. However it was fantastic experience for them to be playing the top seeds and all eyes would have been on the girls in their BioPaints gear.

They then went down again against the Palmerston North pairing of Walsh / Gair 21-14, 21-16.

Now to watch the finals and learn some things before heading to round two of the National Tour at Ohope - January 5/6, 2008.
