Gordon Giles wins Windsor Shield Singles Block A; Wynnum member meets old schoolmates

Wynnum member's memory lane moment with St Margaret's schoolgirls

aile Nancarrow's "memory lane"

Wynnum Club member Gaile Nancarrow had a trip down memory lane when she met up with some schoolgirls from her old school, St Margaret's College in Christchurch.

The girls are over in South-East Queensland representing their school in hockey matches against teams from the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. They were delighted to meet an ex-student from their college and had lots of interesting questions to ask Gaile, who even brought along her school mascot, "Maggie Bear".

Windsor Shield GC Singles

Our Wynnum club members, Gordon Giles and Geoff Hull, were contestants in the Windsor Shield GC Singles Block A (handicap 3 & under), played under overcast skies on Saturday 20th April 2024.

It was a very tight competition with some excellent play by all contestants. From the 7 games played, Gordon and Geoff secured 5 wins each, with Gordon eventually the winner on net hoops.

Congratulations to Gordon, who will get his name put on the coveted Shield.

Congratulations also to the winner of Block B (handicap 4 to 6), Jill Cole (Eildon), and runner-up Joy Wright (Laurel Bank).

Thanks to host club Windsor, and also to all the volunteers: Tournament Manager and Assistant, Referees, hoop setter and all those who worked in the background to make it such a good tournament.
