Last weekend saw the Northland Representative teams compete in Auckland with mixed results.

The years 1-5 men and women competed against North Harbour, Auckland and Waikato at the Pakuranga greens.

Auckland won the men's division with Northland fourth and North Harbour were successful in the women's event with Northland finishing third.

In the years 1-8 competition was between Northland, North Harbour, Auckland & Counties Manukau. Auckland were successful in both men and women's competition with Northland finishing third (men) and fourth (women).

A 'friendly' competition was also played in the open divisions. Northland had some representative players competing in the regional events being held this week at the Onerahi Club and other players were given the opportunity to play in this strong competition.

Mixed pairs started on Sunday and this resulted in success for the North Harbour combination of Tony Grantham and Trish Coot, who will be our area representatives at the finals at Browns Bay.

Monday saw inclement weather force the cancellation of the Region One singles which were rescheduled for yesterday (Wednesday).

Tuesday saw the open pairs for men and women finalised. The men's section was won by Dusty Reader and Steve Smith who will play in the NZ finals.

The women's section was won by the North Harbour combination of Lisa Parlane and Anne Dorreen.

Triples and singles were played yesterday and the competition will be finalised today with the fours for men and women being played.
