Kāinga Ora has admitted demolishing a potential heritage house next to a controversial State housing development in Northland before Heritage New Zealand completed an assessment of its historical value.
Symes led the final 16-9 after 11 of the 18 ends. But Kernaghan took a four on the next end – the third of the game – to tighten up the contest. Symes took a two on the next end, but then Kernaghan got on a run and including a three on the penultimate head, his team grabbed the lead for the first time. Both Scott and MacDonell produced top draw shots on the deciding end, before Gray, with his second delivery, immaculately drew the jack a few centimetres to hold two. Kernaghan, a highly decorated player, had to watch with frustration when his last drive hit the head but he still found himself two down when the dust settled and both the jack and Gray’s toucher ended up in the ditch. It was his third successive fours final defeat.
