Harrison & Chesnokov  were one of three Balmoral pairings to progress into post section play, an excellent effort from the Club Juniors. The vagaries of the draw saw the Balmoral pairing of Graham Farley  & Ian Hughes pair fall to the Harrison pairing in the first round of post section  and the other Balmoral pair of  Paul Jerrom & Les Williams fell to the David Ball skipped Mt Wellington pair at the same stage.

The big news for Balmoral was the securing the of the Auckland Junior Triples title for the 2016-17 Year.  The team of Chelsea Farley, Linda Farley and Tessa Farley, played their way into the final at the headquarters in Kohimarama with a clean sweep in section play. 

Glen Eden took an early lead and Balmoral fought back and played some great bowls to stay in the game. Balmoral were down 9-3 in the 8th end to come back and be within 1 point of Glen Eden in the 13th end 13-12. But Glen Eden took a 4 in the 15th end that damaged Balmoral's chance of a come back. Glen Eden winning the Men's 1-5 Year Triples Title for the 2016-2017 season 20-15. A Balmoral Junior Womens' Fours comprising Linda Farley, , Tessa Farley Chelsea Farley and Marieke Knez (pictured right)  played their way in to another Final just a week after the Triples, where they were matched up against the Avondale combination of Laura Tauniva, Caroline Dubois, Paris Baker and Puna Paretoa.  This final was little more one sided, with Avondale having an excellent start in their final winning the first 5 ends to go 9-0 up. Balmoral played hard to try and regain those lost ends and managed to close the gap and by the 8th end they were still down but had come back to 6-9. Avondale had another winning streak and Balmoral could not come back from it this time. Avondale winning the Auckland Women's 1-5 Year Fours title for 2016-2017, 18-10.
