Morris Trophy

9 August 2025

This tournament between Masterton and Naenae was established four years ago, contesting for a trophy generously donated by Graeme Morris. Masterton has held the trophy since its inception.

As in 2024, this year's tournament was tied at the end of the fourth round - each club having won ten games.

In a thrilling finish Naenae prevailed - winning three of the five games (two of which won by a single point).

At the end of a damp contest Masterton were gracious losers: Naenae grateful winners. Final score: 26-24.
