This is how the day played out over 18 ends:

Rink Two:

Alysa Doulis, Dawn Howarth and Ron McGarry had a close match against the talented Hannah Lepaio, Sue Simmons and Leonie McGarry.

Ron and his team took the early lead however Leonie and her team were in it for the win and came away with a close victory 18-17.

Another sport for her to try, Haylee Lepaio was teamed up with Peter Zylstra and Mel Parker and proved too strong for Andrew Brown, Christine Doulis and Peter Drew.
