Eildon pair wins Go See Touring Bayside Cup

The rain showers on Sunday were a nuisance but weren't enough to dampen the enthusiasm of the competitors in our last major tournament of the year.

The "Go See Touring Bayside Cup" GC Doubles was a great success, with a full complement of players from Bribie Island, Burleigh Heads Palm Beach, Eildon, Headland-Buderim, Ipswich, Stephens, Twin Rivers and Windsor, as well as a number of our own club members, all vying for the honours.

There were some very close results in the Blocks.

Block A was won by Wade Hart & Desley Bischoff (Eildon), who won all 7 games.

Block B was won by Graham McLean (Eildon) & Dennis Green (Bribie Island), who won 6 games with a net hoop 20. In second place in Block B were Ross & Helen Rillie (Headland-Buderim), who won 6 games with a net hoop 17.

The final was an epic battle and was won 7:5 by Wade Hart & Desley Bischoff over last year's winners, Graham McLean & Dennis Green.

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, data entry, and including refereeing, cleaning and catering, raffles, etc., we had a lot of willing volunteers. Many thanks to everyone.

We value greatly our ongoing relationship with Go See Touring and very much appreciate their sponsorship of the Bayside Cup each year. Deirdre Giles presented the Cup and prizes to the winners and runners up on behalf of Go See Touring.
