Five teams had three wins in the Bellerby Graded Optional Fours Tournament, held on the Gisborne Bowling Club greens, so placings had to be decided based on ends won and differentials.

When the calculations were done, Dayvinia Mills (skip), Del Tamanui (three) and Karen Pinn (two) of Kahutia Bowling Club and Erica Tamanui-Thompson (lead) of Te Karaka Bowling Club were declared winners.

The Bellerby tournament allows composite teams, where players from different clubs can play together as long as they play in their correctly graded positions. A lead and a two can play in more senior positions but threes and skips cannot play below their graded place.

Twelve teams took part in the Property Brokers-sponsored tournament.

Mills, Tamanui, Pinn and Tamanui-Thompson had three wins, 26 ends and a +28 differential.

Runners-up were Ricky Miller (s), George Tamihana, Keith Tamanui and Jack Clark, with three wins, 25 ends and a +19 differential.

Third place went to Andrew Ball (s), Peter Ferris, Chris Bunyan and Andrea Ferris, with three wins, 25 ends and a +13 differential.

In their first game, the tournament winners had a 12-7 victory over Hona Huriwai (s), Kym Brown, Joy McFarlane and Joanne Dwyer of Gisborne.

In the third round, they beat Sharon Olsen (s), Ray Smith, Delores Woodcock and Kevin Findson 20-3, and in the fourth they beat Allan Parker (s), Frank McLoughlin, Graham Atkins and Salvie Rickard of Kahutia 14-6.
