What an absolute nail-biter! In the Women’s Final and both Men’s Semi-Finals! If you were here watching, what a treat!
Congratulations to Balmoral for winning the Ryman Healthcare Auckland Women’s Fours 13-12. And although it hurts, congratulations to Royal Oak for giving us such a thrilling final.
And it’s an all Royal Oak final for the Ryman Healthcare Auckland Men’s Fours, to be played on 27 March 2021. Congratulations to Mike Galloway and to Mike Bradshaw, and their teams.

We have our Women’s Finalists! In two thrilling semi-final matches, we saw the Lesley McLinden skipped Royal Oak team overtake Margarita Kelly’s Glen Eden team, for the first time, picking up a 4 in the 13th end, bringing the score to 13-9. And they managed to hang on, the final result was 13-11.
And in the St Heliers vs Balmoral match, St Heliers had a commanding 15-5 lead after 9 ends. But we’ve seen before that those Balmoral girls never give up and they took the match 18-17.
The final of the Women’s Four will get underway shortly.
Our men are now at the semi-final stage. One match has already started, the others are just having a bit of lunch and then they’ll head on out.
We have Nick Krajancic (Carlton Cornwall) vs Mike Bradshaw (Royal Oak) and Neville Hill (Auckland) vs Mike Galloway (Royal Oak).
The Men’s Final will be played on Final’s day – 27 March 2021.
