A great week for Leigh Griffin at the New Zealand Open in Auckland! Hot on the heels of making the semifinals of the singles, Leigh’s team of Karen Hema (skip) and Tania Wrigley (lead) made the semifinals of the triples event. This included a win over Reen Stratford, Marlene and Raelene Castle (Auckland) in the round of 16, but the winning run finally came to an end in the semifinal going down to the defending champs Annette Bell, Doreen Schumacher and Bev Corbett (Waikato) 14-12. Leigh earns $750 for her efforts.
