BIZminton business house league: Asure Quality win, but only just

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

The fourth night of the BIZminton business house league produced close ties and plenty of excitement in the Social Grade.

A countback on points was required to determine the winner after a 3-all tie between Asure Quality and Slammers. Quality got the nod by only four points.

Woolie Jumpers beat Stanley Family 3-2 while Turanga Health defeated HDUBZ by the same scoreline.

In the Competitive Grade, it went down to the wire between Mixed Combo and Unknowns — Mixed Combo winning on countback by nine points.

Unknowns remain top of the leaderboard. Cuzzys are second after whitewashing WSP.
