Twenty-eight teams took part in section play for the Centre fours held last weekend.
Competition was tight and, as a result, five men s teams and two women s teams qualified for post-section play.
In the women s division final, Hikurangi were represented by Leanne Stewart (skip), Manu Timoti, Savanna Lauder and Diane Lawrence, while Mangawhai were represented by Kris Wintle (skip), Lyn Wintle, Wendy Sarjeant and Christine Lineham.
Hikurangi started off well and were 8-1 up after four ends. Mangawhai then found line and length and the Hikurangi players lost their way, dropping 15 shots in four ends as Mangawhai hit the front 16-9 after 10 ends.
