Hi all. I will attempt to do a bit of commentary from sunny Whakatane. I'm a bit limited as I only have my phone and typing is slow going.

Lawns are looking in great condition, perhaps a little slower this morning than ideal but I expect them to quicken during g the day

Hamy currently 3-0 ahead and Steve patsy 1 all

07 Feb 2015 9:26AM (Tournament); 9 Readers

Hamy has a ball yard in front of 4, jacko misses, should be 4-0

07 Feb 2015 9:26AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Nope, blobs the hoop, not sure if its runnable but looks like it might have fallen out to the side

07 Feb 2015 9:27AM (Tournament); 9 Readers

Patsy, runs 3 off the south boundary, Steve replies with a good positional shot wired from the boundary ball

07 Feb 2015 9:28AM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Looks like hamy could run that, 4-0

07 Feb 2015 9:28AM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Bpb takes yard position at 5, hamy puts a ball in, now shooting from 4

07 Feb 2015 9:29AM (Tournament); 11 Readers

Bob only quarter balls the clearance on red, hamy hits the return

07 Feb 2015 9:32AM (Tournament); 12 Readers

Hamy under hits his 4 yard positional shot, not sure if that will run, looks to be struggling with the lack of pace at this stage
