Ōpōtiki Squash Club successfully defended the Neeley Log with a commanding 8-3 victory over challenger Waikite Valley Squash Club earlier this month, extending their championship reign beyond 12 months.

The home side’s dominant performance ensures the regional shield remains in Ōpōtiki as they prepare to host Putāruru Squash Club next month.
