Level play GC open tournament 23 August 2024
For once the weather forecast was correct and the rain moved on to allow us to play in dry weather from the start.
There were 5 blocks and we were pleased to see a number of players from other clubs who joined us for the first time.
Steve Chapman was the clear winner of Block A with 5 wins.
In Block B, David Dickins had a closely fought final game against David King with both in contention to win the Block. It resulted in David Dickins winning Block B as he won hoop 13.
Francis Ainley won Block C with 4 wins.
There were a number of new players to Southwick tournaments who played in Block D. It was a closely run block with Sam Holder (Hove Beach) and Jim Mander both winning 4 games but Sam had +12 net hoops against Jim’s +5.
Again there were new faces in Block E. I think it was a record that hoop 13 took 25 minutes for one of the matches! Three players Peter Hill, Paul Brown and Helen Wilson all had 3 wins so it was down to net hoops and Peter Hill won with +8.
Well done to all the winners.
A big thank you to Marion King for very kindly coming to sort out tea and cake and for all the clearing up she did.

And thank you to Fiona for managing the event.
