We4dnesday June 22nd 2022

Fourteen players fronted up to play tonight and the first item on the agenda was to draw the jackpot player.

 Carol Wakelin got the gig but a first round loss to Dilhun Akpinar took the jackpot claim out of the equation.

 

The June Giantslayer match has been completed and TD Gary Stavrou lost 213 of his hard earned points to Carol Wakelin.

 

The final results were:

 

1^st           David Reitzin

 

2^nd         Hammon Mans

 

3^rd          Garry Byrne

 

4^th          John Symon, Carol Wakelin and

               Peter Voulgaris

 

See you all next week !

Wednesday June 15th 2022

The winter chill has finally hit our numbers with only a bakers dozen of players coming to play.

However we did gain yet another new member in Jeremy Whitelaw, and judging by where he ended up in the placings on his first night I think he might be back – welcome Jeremy and well done!!

 

Koosha Hedjripour was drawn as the jackpot player but a first round loss to Gary Stavrou put paid to that  - better luck next time.

 

The final placings were:

 

1^st                 Ned Marootians

 

2^nd                Jeremy Whitelaw

 

3^rd                 David Reitzin

 

Equal 4^th      David Stubbs

 

Equal 4^th      Angelo Voulgaris

 

See you all next week!

Wednesday June 8th 2022

 

Despite the chilly temperature and the lure of watching State of Origin at home in the warm, we still had 14  players happy to venture out .

 

Gary Stavrou was drawn as the jackpot player (again!) and missed out (again!) but it was not worth stretching yourself for as it was scooped up last week by Michel Gerges.

 

 New player Bruno Cardenas joined us for the first  time – welcome Bruno!

 

Some good natured ribbing over the pre- play dinner saw regular John Symon playing under the moniker of Buttercup for the night, which he took with his normal sardonic good humour.

 

Close competition saw player sharing positions  on the  podium 

 

 

The final results were:

 

1^st                 John Symon AKA Buttercup - for tonight only

 

2^nd                 Gary Stavrou                               

                      David Stubbs

 

^4th                  Garry Byrne

                      Dilhun Akpinar

Wednesday June 1st 2022

Despite the very frosty temperature, 18 regulars and one new player (welcome Saeed Mahammadi)  fronted up for tonight's game.

Michel Gerges was drawn as the jackpot player and did what others have failed to do – capitalised on the chance and won the night, scooping up $115 in jackpot funds in the process – well done Michel!!

 

Carol Wakelin was drawn as the Giantslayer and will attempt to relieve Gary Stavrou of some of his hard earned points later in the month.

 

David Reitzin was player of the month and got his entry fee for the night refunded.

 

 The final results were:

 

 1^st   Michel Gerges 

 

2^nd  Jenny Saunders 

 

3^rd   Peter Voulgaris 

 

4^th    Malcolm Stradwick and Joseph El-Alam (tied)
