he GC Singles 6 and Under McKenzie Aged Care Bribie Challenge, held at Bribie Island on 25 and 26 May 2024, was a round robin of two blocks with 12 players. The top three from each block progressed to the Championship block of six on Sunday.

Our club was represented by Geoff Hull, who came 2nd in Block B with 3 wins and 6 net hoops, and Gordon Giles, who came 2nd in Block A with 4 wins and 11 net hoops. Both players qualified for the Championship round on Sunday. There were many close games, and the winner of the Championship wasn't clear until after the last game of the day.

Addison Matthews (Laurel Bank) won the Championship with 4 wins and 6 net hoops to claim the trophy. Congratulations to Addison on his great success, well done.

Gordon was runner-up with 3 wins and 6 net hoops. John Dark (Noosa) won the Consolation event. Deirdre Giles was a referee for the weekend.

It was a huge weekend with great play, and thanks to the Bribie Island club members for all the great work done in making this tournament such a great event. Everybody really enjoyed the great hospitality and friendship.
