GC level doubles competition 28th April 2023
Eighteen hardy pairs played in our GC level play tournament on 28 April and with Vincent as manager there was always the threat of rain. Sure enough, the day started with mizzle and a cold wind but we did enjoy some warm sunshine in the afternoon.
Three blocks of 6 played some keenly contested matches. In Block A, Andrea & Richard and David & Bob each won 4 games but the former shaded it by a margin of 3 net hoops.
Block B saw Jill & Douglas start their final match with the chance of a clean sweep but they narrowly lost to Paul & Francis. Nevertheless, they were clear winners with 4 wins and +10 net hoops.
In Block C, Paul & Konstantin did manage a clean sweep, winning all 5 games with a net hoop advantage of +10.
Congratulations to all our winners and many thanks to the catering team - Angela & Martin Avis, Jo Mander, Arthur Flatt and Linda Davies.
Thanks to the Manager Vincent L'Estrange for managing and providing a reporrt and photographs.
