The team of Colin Wheeler, Greg Cash, Jim Scott and Terry Scott was unbeaten in its five games on the St Clair green.
It won the contest between the top clubs from the six centres in zone six with 10 points and was followed by North Otago 6 and Southland 4.
This is the third time that North East Valley has qualified for the national fours finals. It won the New Zealand finals in 2003 and contested it again in 2006.
Terry Scott is the only survivor from the 2003 team. The other members of that team were Steve Beel, Shaun Scott and Stephen O'-Driscoll.
It is a strong team this year, with the Scott brothers both former New Zealand representatives. Terry has won 32 Bowls Dunedin titles, Jim 18 and Cash 15. Newcomer Colin Wheeler has won two.
Wheeler was the lead who put early bowls close to the jack during the competition. Cash consolidated the position and made a few drives and Jim Scott played the telling shots when they were needed.
Terry Scott added the bonus shots and played weighted shots to change the head when it was needed.
