Entries close this week for the various competitions.

Entries close this week for the various competitions.

The final of the Centre Mixed Pairs was played at the Kensington greens last Wednesday between Garry and Barbara Seddon, newcomers to the Centre who have joined the Kensington Club this season and Centre stalwarts Ian Bowick (Onerahi) and Ann Muir (Kensington).

This was a great match to watch and, after six ends, the score was five all, both teams scored three shots on the eighth and ninth ends to keep the scores close.

Two shots on the 10th and a four on the 11th then gave the break in the match to the Seddon combination and gave them a six-shot lead. The composite combination had a chase on their hands and although they scored one and then two shots on the last, it was not sufficient to make an extra end and the match belonged to the Seddon
combination, 15-12.

This saw them take their first Centre title in their first Northland Centre event and we will probably see more of these two as the season unfolds.

Congratulations to all four players on reaching the final. Thanks also to the Onerahi, Ngunguru, Hikurangi and Kensington clubs who hosted this event.
