With the Round Robin over the next phase of play in the LV Trophy here in Auckland saw a round where the top team raced the bottom team, the second top raced the second bottom and so on. The plan was that by the end of the day the bottom two performing teams that lost their matches today would be eliminated. The top two teams would then take a break by passing straight to the semi finals. The remaining four teams would then battle it out in the quarter finals.
Team Origin muscled their way up the first beat in a cool, calm collected match play after a stressful and disappointing day yesterday. At the weather mark the Brits rounded 17seconds ahead of their opponents All 4 One. Downwind Ainslie and Co. were settled and sorted and the gap opened a little to 20 seconds. Back at the top the delta had increased to 37seconds, barring a disaster the British effort looked back on track. A dodgy gybe had British hearts racing for a few moments, but the team recovered and took the race.
