The GBC triples team delivered an outstanding qualifying performance on Saturday. They opened against last year’s Carlton Cornwall finalists, needing 8 shots to draw with just two ends left. A superb finish saw them pick up a 4 and a 5 to secure the win.

A 19–13 victory in their second match meant one more win would seal qualification. They then faced a strong Howick side, skipped by 10-time centre title winner Neil Fisher, who had earlier beaten GBC in the Auckland 4s semifinal. It was a hard-fought contest, but Glendowie edged through with another one-point win to set up a highly anticipated post-section clash on Sunday against New Zealand Commonwealth Games representative Tony Grantham.

After leading 10–3, Glendowie were pulled back to 13-all heading into the final end. With Andrew Lawson holding shot, Grantham showed his international class by driving it off to kill the end and claim the win.
