In the fours Aramoho went into the last end needing one shot to force an extra end. As Onehunga found themselves five down on the head their skip drove with his first bowl and then drew with his second. He did manage to cut the deficit to three shots, but the damage was done and Aramoho went through for a 15-13 win and an unassailable two games to one win. The singles was dumped mid-game with an outcome making no difference to the end result.
"We gave it to Dave anyway," Corney joked yesterday.
"It was a great weekend and a great result. We sneaked into post section play after playing Southland on the Saturday at Mt Eden. Southland only needed one win from three games, but choked and we won all three to qualify on a +17 differential. Then on Monday we had the bye so went directly into the semi-final winning 3-nil against Stoke from Nelson," Corney said.
Meanwhile, another Women's National Interclub trophy is heading back to Taranaki as the side from Hawera beat Raumati South in the final.
The fours required an extra end to get a winner as Hawera, who had been ahead all the way, let their advantage slip.
Four shots on the last three ends allowed Raumati South to claim an extra end which Hawera scored two shots on to take their first win. The singles also went Hawera's way beating Raumati 25-17.
The pairs was a close game, but Hawera conceded with one end to go at 13-14 after their other two teams won.
