Most Soffe teams struggled to field their top teams this weekend and the results showed.

Farmlands Okaiawa almost caused a boilover  with an 8-all draw with Hareb Deken Oakura, Sandfords Manaia beat Naki Racquets Pukekura 10-6, while AWE Huatoki lost 9-7 to Central Finance Rotokare.

Taranaki  No. 1 Jordan Fleming had an unexpected loss against a determined Jaime Simpson while brother Beauden Fleming was unable to foot it with Pukekura's Mike Fleming, going down in straight sets.  Manaia's No.3 Jacob Gopperth succumbed to Chris Jury in straight sets while Josh Murdoch at 4, held out Brady Simpson in a tough 3 setter.  In the women's, Nicole Koch, Alesha Ford and Trudy Vince all breezed past their respective opponents, Linda Reid, Donna Thorne and Chantelle Peters, while Grace Kelly lost the first set but was able to get the next two over Tania Fleming.   

Huatoki put up a good fight but in the end Rotokare were too strong in the combines and took the honours.  Huatoki's Alastair Nairn was no match for German doctor, Andre Lundt.  Dave Innes had his chances against Malcolm Elder, while Chris Avery couldn't get it going against a clinical Shane Devlin.  Cory Sutherland at 4, edged out Rotokare's Jaden Hareb in a hard 3-setter.  Alice Caskey, back from University  at No.1 was a bit rusty with  Karen Cranston taking the match in three sets; Sophie Robertson easily dispatched Frances Gray while Hikaru Han had a battle royale against the two-handed Helena Goodin, before winning in 3 sets.  Tracey Old used her power game to roll over young Hannah Trevis.

Okaiawa  No.1 Hamish Mead had to bow to the superior Graeme Mitchell in straight sets but eslewhere Okaiawa's men were dominant, with Mark Laurence, Vincent Baylis and Ryan Stockman beating Oakura's Len Adamson, Tei Walden and Andrew Pittman respectively.  In the women's, Oakura fought back with Emmah Ussher, Jaimee Baylis and Lauren Fraine going down  to Paula Ferguson, Jackie Keenan & Chris Davies in straight set losses.  Okaiawa's only win came from Vicki Roberts over  Rebecca Scott. Both men's doubles went the way of Okaiawa, both women's doubles to Oakura and then then combines were shared.
