Today the North Wellington Mixed Fours competition was held. The winner of this goes on to represent North Wellington at the zone final. There were 6 teams entered, so it was played over a 5-round round robin. After 3 rounds, there were 2 teams each with 3 wins and one with 2 wins, so it was obvious it going to be a tight competition. After the 4th round the 2 3-winners played each other and then that left 1 team with 4 wins, and 2 teams with 3 wins. The 4-winner played the other 3-winner in the last round and came out on top in that game, so that left 1 team on 5 wins, 1 team on 4 wins and 1 team on 3 wins. The winners on the day were Grant & Dale Rayner, Jess Moffat and Jeff Stuart with 5 wins, 31.5 ends & 61 pts. The runners-up were Paul Voorend, Trevor Rayner, Bev Lindsay & Judith McNickle with 4 wins, 31.5 ends & 49 points. Rayners, Moffat & Stuart won last year as well, so it was back-to-back titles for them. Click here for full results
