Clarke shooting from the ball on the western side of the lawn.. I think she has a target at some of the peg ball and two of the balls on the EB

Hit's the middle of the peg and Morgan has all the balls for a standard TP to take the match and level the test

22 Apr 2017 3:02PM (Tournament); 41 Readers

Wants to give it large

22 Apr 2017 3:02PM (Tournament); 42 Readers

Won't be getting the peel after 4b so it's now delayed

Maloof just beat Garrison. NZ 9 USA 9. NZ needs 2 wins out of Shilling/Clarke/Hakes. Shilling and Clarke are game down but are on winning turns. Hakes on a winning turn g1

22 Apr 2017 3:18PM (Tournament); 41 Readers

Clarke lining up the penault peel going to 4b. Looking in complete control

22 Apr 2017 3:22PM (Tournament); 43 Readers

Clarke straight rover to go

22 Apr 2017 3:25PM (Tournament); 39 Readers

Awful croquet shot and doesnt get a good rush on the peele

22 Apr 2017 3:27PM (Tournament); 40 Readers

At best can jaws the peele and will need to jump.. she's done it

22 Apr 2017 3:28PM (Tournament); 42 Readers

Gets the jump and had a good deep ball so will require a bombard

22 Apr 2017 3:28PM (Tournament); 42 Readers

good finish and will be having a 3rd

22 Apr 2017 3:32PM (Tournament); 42 Readers

16TP in g2

G3
Clarke B EB
Morgan R duffer
Clarke K hits from c3 to EB ball - is trying to go round 3rd turn

22 Apr 2017 3:44PM (Tournament); 43 Readers

Has a 2.5y h1... fails it badly to give a 6y lift for the world. Hoop stroke looked OK but it wasn't an ideal one to miss

22 Apr 2017 3:45PM (Tournament); 43 Readers

NZ 9 USA 9
Clarke and Shilling and g3 of their matches. Hakes/Soo in g1. Whoever gets to 10 points first has a huge psychological advantage

22 Apr 2017 3:47PM (Tournament); 42 Readers

Morgan in control and approaching h4

22 Apr 2017 3:53PM (Tournament); 46 Readers

It's gonna be a spread by the look of it

22 Apr 2017 4:10PM (Tournament); 57 Readers

Approaching h5 with peele somewhat set up to peel 4b going to 6

22 Apr 2017 4:20PM (Tournament); 54 Readers

Morgan peeling 4b going to 1b.. 2b pioner is back at 4b so will be at least a reasonable turn to finish

22 Apr 2017 4:25PM (Tournament); 53 Readers

22 Apr 2017 4:36PM (Tournament); 53 Readers

Morgan up to the rover peel

22 Apr 2017 4:39PM (Tournament); 59 Readers
