The BNH  Champ of Champ Mixed 2x4x2 was held on Saturday at Browns Bay.

The tournament was played on the one day, with games being of 12 ends with no time limit.

It was getting cold and darker for the final, but they managed to complete the game.

 

Our representatives were Sheryl Wellington and Allan Langley.

 

Round 1, they played a strong Riverhead team of Grant Goodwin and Gale Ward.

The Mairangi Bay pair started well and raced to a 11-1 lead.

Then Riverhead had a mini comeback but Sheryl and Allan held on to win 14-6.

 

Quarterfinal, They played Adrienne Bent and Scott Wilson from Omaha, who caused a big upset in the first round beating the Browns Bay pair of Colin Rogan and Lin East 12-11.

In this game the Omaha team were not allowed to play with the same control, with Sheryl and Allan combining well as a team.

Mairangi Bay winning 19-2 in ten ends, not needing to play the last two.

 

Semi Final, They were up against the Nathans, Chad and Millie from Birkenhead.

This was a vey close game that could have gone either way.

Unfortuately it went Birkenheads way with a 10-9 win. So Close!

The final was won by Keiko Kurohara and Simon Poppleton from Takapuna beating Chad and Millie 14-13 in a tense game.

Another semi final result for Mairangi Bay.

A big thankyou to all the supporters that turned up during the day
