Didn't she do well?!

The GC C-Level Tournament at Ealing with eight entries in the handicap range 7-12 was held on a blistering hot day under a cloudless blue sky.  The heat was unrelenting and so was the play.  By the afternoon there were two contenders for the title and the final game of the day was stretching the patience of the tournament manager as the players equalised their scores at 6-all during the end of the 8-ball extension period.

What followed was  an extended duel at the 13th hoop. 

Eventually the relieved tournament manager was able to award the winner the prize.

… and the Winner was …

dramatic pause ...

drum roll please …

drum roll …

more drum roll …

even more drum roll …

“Our Catherine”!
