NZ Orewa 23rd Open Annual Tournament
Intro to Open and 4+ by Kathie Grant
The Open has 8 players and there will be 6 rounds over the 2 days. The weather forecast is for gales and storms but we are hoping this will by pass us. This morning is cloudy and dry with no rain or wind. This section is played as a round robin.
The Champ Singles 4+ also with 8 players is to be played in 2 sections of 3 games on Monday then 3 more on Tue in a super section where all wins are carried forward. Winners are to be selected on wins first - over all the games- then net points.

2nd round almost finished. Although it rained this morning it was debatable whether to put on wet weather gear or not. At present we have a mild breeze and no rain. Asking for highlights from the games I am informed there are plenty of low lights.

Tense game between Marion McInnes and Kit Jackson. In regulation 8 Kit pegged out one of his balls to even the score having already pegged out one of Marion's balls. Then with a series of misses and a noisy audience - by this stage all other players were watching, Kit missed with his ball onto Marion's 3b ball. Marion hit sent his blue ball well forward then blobbed in the hoop 3b with her red ball giving Kit a lift. He was not able to hit her ball and she was able to hit the ball through in the last turn winning the game by one point.

The end of the last game was played in the rain. However the lawns all remained playable and no games were stopped during the day for rain. The wind was quite strong at times during the last game. Forecast is for worse weather tomorrow so we will wait and see.
