“This Quad Series will be the culmination of a bumper season. We are going to do our best to make it a great event for all involved,” said Morrison.
“We are really excited to welcome our Aussie and American friends for this series.”
The New Zealand A concept started last season :-
New Zealand and USA both reached the semi-finals of the IMC Over-50s World Cup in Cape Town in March . Both sides had very narrow wins over Australia in round-robin play.
