Connor Barker has reached the last 16 of the NZ Amateur Champs at Wairakei this morning.  He beat Jang Hyun Lee from Titirangi 1up in what must have been a very tight match.  He lead from early and held a 1up lead pretty much throughout the match.  Connor now plays Mako Thompson from Hawkes Bay in the next round.
 
Connor bowed out of the Amateur at the Round of 16 stage with a narrow loss to Mako Thompson.  Mako went on to lose to Kerry Mountcastle at the semi final stage, who then lost to the eventual winner, Charlie Smail. 
 
In the Womens event Mary Chen was beaten by Carmen Lim 3/1.
