Isn't this just wrapping up a bit warm in this weather?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Exactly? All right? We have been chatting the fours tell
us were things sit there?

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah? So the Champion Champion events played last week. We
saw the fours on Saturday and the women's In the
quarter finals we saw nine I beating Massiev twenty two

the final. As we've said previously, there's a finals weekend
coming up. So in that final we'll have a nine
I versus Stakes Valley, and that nine O team is
ali at tavoulu Leone Gough and Robinson and Tina Stare
and they square off against the Stakes Valley team of

Island Bay eighteen sixteen, Tawa beating Titahibay nineteen thirteen, Victoria
