Eildon finishes third at Moreton Bay tournament; Alan and Philip win doubles final

Eildon takes third in Moreton Bay Club Tournament

The Eildon Gateball Team was one of eight teams competing in the Moreton Bay Club Tournament held on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of March at 'The Sands Bowlo', formerly the Sandgate Lawn Bowls Club.

The team members were Alan, Grahame, Jules, Mary and Philip (Captain).

Overall, the Eildon Team won five of the seven games played and came third in the tournament.

The Teams competition was followed by a Doubles Tournament played on the Sunday afternoon and Monday.

The competition comprised two blocks of eight pairings with the final played between the winner of each block. Alan and Philip played as a team whilst Mary teamed up with Warren from Moreton Bay.

Alan and Philip were block winners and went on to compete in the final against Geoff Morris and partner Paul. It was a seesawing match, but it was eventually won by Alan and Philip on a score of thirteen to twelve.

Congratulations to Alan and Philip and the Eildon players.

Ideal conditions for Friday morning golf croquet at Eildon

Friday AM – Golf "Club Play"

The morning of Friday, 20 March brought ideal conditions for croquet.

With sunshine, clear blue skies and our beautifully maintained lawns, players were keen to play.

Our capable Club Golf Captain, Tony, and lovely Jan organised the matches, ensuring both fun and competitive play for all, while Jennifer's photographs perfectly captured the vibe and focus of the players.

There's nothing quite like a game of croquet to wrap up the week and kick off the weekend!
