2018 Jenkins Trophy Match
Howick-Pakuranga CC challenged the holders, North Shore CC, at the beginning of the season. Subsequently they presented a request to ACA to reduce the number of boards to 12. This was declined. On the night, H-P turned up with the full complement (on paper) of 20 boards, including 8 titled players (to North Shore’s 2), and out-rating NS on team average and on a majority of boards. Nevertheless, North Shore held on to the Jenkins Trophy, 13-7.
