The winning rink played very well throughout, and each member connected well. . Stephenson’s rink, on the other hand, did not show the same form as in prior, games during the tournament, otherwise the scores would have been more even. Morse led from the start, and it was not long before he had the issue beyond doubt. Praig. (Gisborne) and Martin ('Kahutia)., later .played a , further, game in the semi-finals, with Mac Gibbon (Poverty Bay) trying, conclusions -with Morse.
