Interesting events at the tournament

Another successful Winter Tuesday Tournament was held on 8 March at the Club. It was cold but with beautiful sunshine.

The handicaps of the eight players  ranged from 2 to 12 which led to some interesting start scores. Geoff Johnson (2) playing Minty (12) meant that Geoff entered the lawn with 14 pegs but undaunted (well, a bit) he ran 11 hoops to win the game! Minty played the shot of the match by running Hoop 1 with her first ball by a careful deflection off her opponent's ball.

Pat Winning and Martin Dock both won their respective blocks which put them in a good position for the afternoon. However, Carol Jamieson won her game in Round 4 and so met Martin in the Final.  Would there be a repeat of the heavy win for Martin from their morning game?  No sirree: Carol more than reversed the score to win. The bubbly was hers! 

Many thanks to Martin for arriving extra early and staying late to help set up and put away the equipment. Also, a big thank you to Brian Jamieson for agreeing to be the referee and adding professionalism to the tournament.
