Forty-five teams took part in the first Centre event of the season when the Centre pennants were completed last weekend.
Difficult conditions at some venues made for close games and it was certainly a weekend to get the cobwebs out of bowl delivery ready for the season ahead.
Preliminary results were:
Women - Section One: 1) Kensington 'A'; 2) Hikurangi; 3) Kensington 'O'
Section Two - 1) Kamo Tuis; 2) Kensington 'R'; 3) Mangawhai Green
Men - Section One: 1) Mangawhai No 1; 2) Kensington Yellow; 3) Kensington White
Section Two - 1) Kamo Knights; 2) Onerahi; 3) Maungatapere
