Dennis Green and Graham McLean win Bayside Cup

Our last major tournament of the year, the "Go See Touring Bayside Cup" GC Doubles, was held on Sunday 6 November and was a great success, with a full complement of players from Bribie Island, Eildon, Ipswich, Merthyr, Stephens, Southport, Twin Rivers, West Toowoomba and Windsor, as well as a number of our own club members.

We very much appreciate the generous sponsorship of Go See Touring. Unfortunately, their representative was unable to be present to present the trophies.

As with any tournament, a team effort is required to achieve a good result, and our team did us proud. From hoop-setting and court preparation, right through to games organisation and management, including refereeing, cleaning and catering, raffles, etc., we had a lot of willing volunteers. Many thanks to everyone.

The weather was in our favour with a nice cool breeze. Our lawns were looking good after recent rolling, all helped by the recent rain. There were some fiercely contested games with close results in the Blocks.

Block A was won by Dennis Green (Bribie Island) and Graham McLean (Eildon), who won 5 games with a net hoop 18.

In second place in Block A were Mary McMahon (Southport) and Addison Matthews (West Toowoomba), who won 5 games with a net hoop 9.

Block B was won by Geoff Hull (Wynnum) and Ron Schodel (Twin Rivers), who won all 7 games.

The final was an epic battle between all players and was won by Dennis Green and Graham McLean over Geoff Hull and Ron Schodel when time ran out.

Deirdre Giles presented the Cup and prizes to the winners on behalf of Go See Touring, our generous sponsors.
