This was l’Ami’s second mixed fours title as he had previously won in 2001 while Mike and Lorraine Phipps won for the third time with their previous titles in 2006 and 2007. It was Watt’s first title.

In the exciting fifth round match between Taranaki and Southland , Taranaki won an absolutely absorbing and crucial match against Southland who had led the competition after five rounds by one point. In this match Taranaki led 7-4 after eight ends but Southland scored two shots on the ninth end to go into the final end trailing 6-7. On the final end l’Ami killed the jack while trying to draw the shot to put Southland two points ahead. On the extra end Graham Low in trying to improve their position killed the jack, Taranaki escaping from an almost certain defeat 10-9. This turned out to be the winning and the losing of the tournament.
