Wellington have repeated their 2022 success at the annual quadrangular event for the Stu Smith Memorial trophy.

A strong start against Taranaki on Saturday morning, 6 - 2 was followed by the front of weather that had caused havoc across NZ,  pasiing through and depsite a couple of attempts at play, the afternoon round was abandoned.

This meant a good result against home team Manawatu/Wanganui on Sunday morning was required, with not having played the other Saturday winner Hawkes Bay. A  good 7 - 1 win over Man/Wang coupled with Hawkes Bay and Taranaki sharing a 4 all draw, was enough for Wellington to come away champions.

The Golf Wellington selection panel will now name the team to compete at the Freyberg National Interprovincial in early November.
