So it's South Australia into all four finals again, as
they were last year, facing NSW in three of them.
Mind you, the last round in the Open was exciting. In R13, NSW had towelled up SA to send
them 40 IMPs adrift from Victoria in second.
Luckily for them, NSW repeated the dose against
Victoria in the last round while SA had a goodish
win to sneak into the final by one IMP.
However, they start the final 13 IMPs adrift due
to the carry forward.
In the Women's, SA and NSW held the top two
places throughout the second round robin to
comfortably qualify.
In the Seniors, Victoria were running second
most of the way, behind the rampant NSW.
As such, they were playing NSW in the fateful last
round and suffered a moderate loss to miss the final, with SA sliding in again.
In the Youth, SA cleared out and were joined in
the final by Victoria.
The first 12 boards of the Finals were played last
night. Some hands on the next page.
