Tuesday October 21st 2025

Our numbers are holding up. We had 40 players tonight and although no new players came it is pleasing to see that some of last week's newbies returned.

Jenny was the drawn jackpot but, in spite of her elation, had a particularly fruitless night.

Morty and Raf played their Giantslayer match, with Raf unable to score any ladder points from the ladder leader.

Tuesday October 7th 2025

 We had 33 players tonight including three newbies.

All the way from Denmark for a "one night stand" was Ole Jensen who took 2nd prize for the night.

Rupert Morton, a Sydneysider who we will hopefully see regularly.

Ian Cherington, husband of our regular player Paula O'Connell.

Matt Smith was the drawn jackpot and after winning his first two matches 7-0 looked very likely to take the prize. But David Reitzin put an end to Matt's hopes, keeping our ever-growing jackpot intact.

Susan Wan was declared September's Player-of-the-month and was given free entry to tonight's tournament.

Raf was the drawn giantslayer to take on Ladder-Leader Morteza.

Tuesday September 30th 2025

 We had a record number of players tonight, 37.

Jim Bean was the drawn jackpot (which now exceeds $500). After two wins, Jim was defeated in the 3rd round by Steve Clary.

Deputy Dilhun traipses in after a long absence and wins the night!

Such cheek!
