 A very select little group of 6 played the Australia day tournament

which made for a reasonably early night !

 

Newish member Adam Makda (it was his 2^ndnight) was chosen as the jackpot player , and at the end of the night he claimed first place and the jackpot - not a princely sum – just $15 , but we all know that winning on Wednesday is not about the money, its about the position at the top of the board!

 

Final placings were:

 

1^st     Adam Makda

 

2^nd     John Symon

 

3^rd      Gary Stavrou

 

4^th      Peter Voulgaris

 

No photos this week – the photographer was too occupied playing!

 

See you all again next week, when, hopefully we will have a few more of the regulars around.

 Covid and the holiday season are still keeping our numbers down.

We had 11 playing tonight including a new addition to our ranks, Adam Makda, who hails from Perth.

Adam settled right in to our happy little group, walking away with second prize.

Ben Scarf drew the jackpot but failed to convert it to a win.

Next Wednesday is Australia Day and we will be playing as usual.

 Inclement weather and covid concerns combined to keep our group down to eleven for tonight's tournament.

The jackpot player was drawn and tonight one of our newest members, Ben Scarf, was awarded the chance at jackpot glory but it was not to be.

 

The final results were:

 

1^st   Carol Wakelin

 

2^nd  Andrew Scarfe

 

3^rd  Tied were Angelo Voulgaris and Gary Stavrou

 

See you all next week!

PS

Carol was to modest to record that she alone won all three matches played tonight. (Gary)

 Welcome to the first report of the new year, a year that will, hopefully, be better than the last two in respect of the on-going pandemic.

 A very select little group of ten players attended tonight and after clarifying the new format of 3 x 7-point matches, the jackpot player was drawn so that play could begin.

 

David Stubbs got the first opportunity but was not able to take advantage of it on this occasion. 

 

 

The final results were:

 

1^st   David Reitzin

 

2^nd   Dilhun Akpinar

 

3^rd   Peter Voulgaris

 

4^th   Hammon Mans

 

Apologies for the lack of photos tonight – I left my phone at home, but will resume snapping next week!
