Fiona Zhai Ye became the first TT Wellington(*) player to win the South Island Women Singles when she won all her matches ( round robin of 5) from Mimi Walle (C), Shelley Smith (S), Lisa Yue (W) and Anny Li (A).  (*)Previous winners from Hutt Valley were Raewyn Young (1993) and Sabine Westenra (1995).
