Congratulations to the Auckland Men’s and Women’s Open Prem teams on winning their sections in the Quadrangular Reps fixture against Northland, North Harbour, Counties Manukau and Auckland.
The Auckland’s Men’s Open Prem, at Papatoetoe Hunters Corner, can consider themselves lucky. If the new points system to be used at National Incentre this week was applied, then Auckland A would have been the victors!
Howick Bowling Club has the reputation of having one of the best greens in New Zealand and it certainly met expectations hosting the Women’s Open Prem teams.
Following the new National Incentre Conditions of Play, Auckland’s Women’s Selector was able to play all eight players in the different disciplines against formidable opponents. Auckland Women’s Open Prem won seven of their nine games gaining 21 points, North Harbour followed with 15, Counties with 12 and Northland with 6 points.
We wish all the teams the best of luck for next week’s National Incentre which has 25 Centres from around New Zealand competing. Good luck to our Auckland Women’s Open Prem side as they endeavour to defend their National Intercentre title.
