2011 North Island Championships

The North Island was won by Bob Smith ahead of Paul Garbett. Bob only conceded a draw to Paul, Paul also drew with Anthony Ker, so the decisive game of the tournament proved to be Bob's impressive sacrificial win over Anthony (sweet utu for Bob after his nightmare against Anthony at Congress).
