Eight teams contested the Peace Shield.
There were a few tight games that could have changed the final outcome of positions.
However, the Te Karaka crew of File, Duncan Macpherson, John Dawson and Arthur Baty emerged unscathed to take the honours.
The title came down to the final game on Sunday, which made for interesting viewing.
File faced off with Gisborne's Malcolm Trowell, Charlie Ure, David Beattie and Nathan Trowell — and to the victors would go the Peace Shield title spoils.
It was to and fro through much of the game and as proved a theme over the tournament, the time limit defeated ends played.
This cost some teams a better outcome.
The title-deciding clash's last end alone took 15 minutes, almost a minute a bowl, and 11 out of the 15 scheduled ends were played.
It was good to see File returning to the form of his better days while Macpherson played the big shots when it was needed.
The win gave File Gisborne East Coast centre title No.79, MacPherson won his 20th and Baty collected a gold star for his fifth centre crown.
Trowell's team won the Slight Shield as runners-up.
Well done to the winners and everyone who entered.
It was good to see experienced campaigner Bob McIlroy alongside father Geoff Pinn and his nine-year-old twins Kyle and Liam.
The centre was grateful for the generous sponsorship of the tournament.
