BIZminton4 rallies getting longer

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

TEAMS had lots of fun and some used a little bit of deceptive play to win points in Week 2 of BIZminton4.

Serving has improved, and rallies have got longer.

Teams are now divided into two round robins — the Championship Group, made up of all the first-night winners, and the Plate Group, made up of first-night runners-up.

Second-night results: Te Hapara High Flyers 4 defeated Starship Enterprise (2) 2; Ngati Rangi Night Blades 3 (161 points) def Horouta 101s 3 (125pts); Launch (2) 3 (124pts) def Gisborne Volunteer Centre 3 (120pts); Starship Enterprise (1) 4 def Monday Madness 2; Te Hapara Excellers 4 def No Idea 2; WSP Opus 4 def Launch (1) 2; Launch (1) 4 def Gisborne Volunteer Centre 2; Late Comers 3 def Te Hapara High Flyers 2.
