Results Day 3: The perfect record for Northcote and Waitakere Bears came to an end yesterday at the national women’s open club championship which is being played at Rosedale Park in Albany.

Saints, who suffered their first loss of the tournament on Tuesday, upset Northcote 5-2, and then backed up that performance to beat the New Zealand Defence Force side 8-1. On the other side of the draw Waitakere Bears were beaten 15-0 by Te Aroha who along with Auckland Marist have finished their respective round robin games with perfect records.

The Auckland Marist side perhaps doing the biggest favour for Saints with their 3-2 win over Northcote meaning that the Hutt Valley side remain in contention for the Radio Sport national women’s open title. Marist’s win means Saints play Te Aroha, who are the defending champions, in a all Hutt Valley semifinal while the other semi final is an all Auckland affair with Auckland Marist playing Waitakere Bears.
