The 2026 Rene Cole Trophy was played at the Darling Downs Region Tournament last weekend.

Congratulations to Dave Luxmoore (Burleigh Heads Plan Beach), who won in a Golden Point finish against last year's winner, Stephens' Chris Borlase. The crowd of spectators certainly appreciated the skills displayed by the finalists.

As Chris said, "It was fantastic fun and an entertaining battle."

Several other members of our club travelled to Toowoomba. Elaine Berridge won the Division 2 Trophy.

"Thank you for a great job done" to all the clubs in Toowoomba.
