Weather conditions caused a late start to post-section in the Centre Mixed Pairs held last weekend.

Play finally got under way at 10.30am, which meant only three rounds were able to be played and the final match between Maree Attwood and Bryce Mackie (Composite) and John Dunn and Linda Swanson (Onerahi) will be played at a later date.

Fifteen teams qualified from a field of 46 entries.

Both semifinals were close affairs with Attwood/Mackie (Composite) defeating Paul and Sue Wightman (Mangawhai) on an extra end and Dunn/Swanson killing the last end to have a replay of the end and to eventually defeat Margaret Gurney and junior bowler Richie Naera (Kensington) 12-7.

Post-section results were:
