The first Netball game is between Christchurch and Manawatu with the Aucklanders watching eagerly. The game goes to Christchurch 34-7. Auckland versus Christchurch is a highly anticipated game, as Auckland has beaten Manawatu 39-6, meaning the game between Auckland and Christchurch decides who will win the Brian Smithers Cup! The game is a tight one, with Auckland eventual winners 26-21.
