Wellington complete the final four

The final four have been decided at the Womens Toro Interprovincial with Auckland, Canterbury, Bay of Plenty and Wellington all earning the chance to be champions at the Westown Golf Club.

After a dominant week from Auckland, Canterbury and Bay of Plenty, today rapidly turned into a head to head fight for the final spot between Wellington and North Harbour which was decided by just half a point.

This leaves two epic encounters tomorrow morning where Auckland will play Wellington and Canterbury will face Bay of Plenty for the chance to play in the big dance.

The emotion of a young Wellington side was hard to hide after achieving their semi-final goal and number two Te Rongopai Clay spoke with calmness and excitement leading into the biggest day of their careers.

"It means a lot as this was our goal after a poor performance last year, but I am very rapt with how we have gone and especially our three debutants," said Clay.

Clay has been featured at a whopping eight Toro Interprovincials and knows what it takes, but more importantly knows what it means to everyone involved.

"I havent won one yet, we came runner up four years ago but it would mean a lot, not just for me but for the management team and even Julianne [Alvarez] who has been sending me crazy messages all week."

It may have been a shootout between North Harbour and Wellington but Clay and the management team just wanted everyone to focus on going all in with nothing to lose.

"Myself and my managers knew the scenario and kept it quiet. We just wanted to go out with a bang if it was to be our last match and we had nothing to lose so it was an awesome feeling.

Clays response was simple when asked how to beat this rampaging Auckland side.

"Make pars and putts."

The highly anticipated match-up between Auckland and Canterbury lived up to its hype with Auckland tipping the southerners 3-2. The required three points came from the middle players of Brittney Dryland (5&4), Siyi Keh (1up) and Munchin Keh (3&2).

Drylands performance against the in-form Catherine Bell was the feature as she continued on her winning ways to remain unbeaten this week.

"I am very pleased with not only my form but everyones so far. This was a good win, but tomorrow is the big day so we are very focused on that," said a determined Dryland.

This left the result the number ones meaningless, but after a racing start for New Zealand amateur champion Rose Zheng led three-up at the turn before Amelia Garvey crafted one of the weeks best comebacks which included a 25-foot birdie putt on 17 to win in style. Garvey then finished the day off with an amazing halved match against Chantelle Cassidy of Waikato after being four down at the halfway stage.

Host side Taranaki enjoyed another victory this afternoon to make it three wins during their extremely impressive week. They defeated Manawatu/Wanganui 3 - 1 to have the clubhouse bubbling with satisfaction.

The four best teams are clearly locked into a finals berth and have the recipe for a mouth-watering final day at the 2016 Toro Interprovincials.

However along with the excitement of the final day, there is also fear that rain could spoil the party. It is forecasted to be the worst day of the week which leaves the tournament in an interesting position tomorrow.

There are a number of scenarios to determine the overall results which will all depend on the playability of the course. From the weather reports available, the morning is starting to look playable, but from midday some dreams could be ruined as we anticipate rain, rain and more rain.

The womens finals day is slightly different because all golf fans get to witness every side playing off for each position from top to bottom. The semi-finals will start from 7:30am and with a one tee start, the rest will follow.
