In a repeat of last years semi-final our Bissett Shield team played Akarana at Pakuranga on Sunday morning.  Fortunately the rain held off but strong winds increasing during the morning made good scoring difficult.
 
A steady start saw us hold narrow leads in 5 matches after the first 4 holes.  By the end of the front 9 the lead was consolidated with 3 matches 3up and 2 others 2up.  Through the early holes on the back nine the team kept applying the pressure and leads were extended.  By the 13th hole - Tomas Shaw (4up), Rakesh Patel (2up), Dell Bain (4up), James Eng (3up), Matthew Cormack (2up) and Cameron Harlock (4up) gave us a very strong position.
 
Tomas was the first to finish (5/4), quickly followed by James Eng (4/3), Dell (4/2), Matthew (4/2) and Rakesh (2up).  Cameron rounded out a convincing 6-2 win with a 2/1 win at No.2.
 
This Sunday we play Titirangi at Maungakiekie in the Final.  The tee times will be posted on our Facebook page.
