Zone12, which had a convincing win in the first round, almost cameto grief at the hands of Zone 13 before escaping with a narrow76-74 win, while Zone 10 was seemingly down and out goinginto the last end against Zone 14, only to grab a vital 6 shotsto sneak home 71-70.Defending champion Zone 16 had won its opening two gamesin fine style and appeared destined for the finals. Other 2game winners were Zones 2, 9 and 10 appeared to have theupper hand going into the crucial third round. The third roundproved fatal for several of the leading Zones, as well as somenear misses as Zone 16 comfortably won its third game toremain undefeated, as did Zone 10. Zone 5 also providedanother nail-biting finish for the day by overcoming Zone 11 ina 79-78 result.At the completion of the sectional matches, the winners toprogress through to the finals were Zone 16 with 6 points +76,Zone 12 - 6 points +21, Zone 8 - 4 points +33 and Zone 10 - 6points +40, with Zone 16 to play Zone 12 and Zone 8 upagainst Zone 10 in the semi-finals.The semi-finals saw Zone 12 oust Zone 16 (71- 61) and Zone10 overpower Zone 8 (99-67), leaving the two metro Zones tofight out the final.
