GC Doubles Competition 7 July 2025
Sadly we just missed raising the 48 players needed to play 4 divisions of 6 players which would have been ideal, so the play was arranged in 3 divisions: two divisions of 8 players and one of six; the teams were allocated to each division by joint handicap.
All divisions played 5 games, which seems, by general consent, to be the most popular number of rounds for these events. Divisions A and B were therefore incomplete blocks and the Manager chose the final rounds post lunch to ensure as many of the pairs with better results played each other as possible.
Division A was won by David Dickins & Douglas Shand who convincingly won all their games - only one game went to 7-6.
Division B went to the wire as at the end of Round 5 two pairs had 4 wins each:John Effingham & David Russell and Mike Akester & Philip Harrison. Both also had +10 net hoops. Sadly for John and David, they had been beaten by Mike and Philip who therefore took the prizes.
Division C was a complete block of five rounds and was won by Sue Kilby & Chris Baccarini who won 4/5 games.
Congratulations to the three winning pairs and thanks to all who played. Especial thanks to Linda who kindly baked and donated cake for tea!
