Runners-up were Peter Plowman and Adrian Shields. On the women's side, women's captain Belinda Buck takes away the Arkwright Cup for 2008, ahead of Catherine Manchester and Pam Graham.

- I’ve just spotted this blank wall being constructed beside the main route into the city from the airport. Facing north, providing a beautiful backdrop for shadow play of pohutukawa, as well as a future venue for no doubt countless mindless scribblings, is a blank wall.
