The last opportunity for some match play practice prior to the NSW Open Backgammon Championship brought a very healthy 22 players on the boards.

 

Hossein Haydari made the trek  - by car  - from South Australia to play and will no doubt make a solid attempt to take the NSW  Open Trophy back over state lines!

 

We also had a new player, Bruce Phillippi, a visitor from Ohio, who  scored the jackpot player spot on his first visit, but to no avail.

 

 The final results were:

 

 1^st              Hammon Mans

 

2^nd             John Symon and Hossein Haydari (tied)

 

 4^th              Jim Bean and Koosha Hedjripour (tied)

 

 Good luck to all on the weekend – see most of you next week!
