Paula was the drawn jackpot but was stopped in her tracks by Gary in the third round.

Just three more meetings to go till the last night of the year when the top four ladder scorers battle it out for the club championship.

 Tonight we congratulated Deniz Agdiran for winning the Speed Gammon championship at the recent Australian Championships.

Our numbers were down a little to 37, no doubt due to the above-mentioned tournament.

We welcomed two new players tonight, Malek Heidarizadeh and Nick Salarnia.

Gary was the drawn jackpot again (twice in three weeks) but again failed to deliver, being denied by Sean the Smiling Assassin.

 Today is remembrance day, and Adam will certainly remember it as the day he (finally) drew the jackpot only to be denied the coveted prize.

We welcomed new player Sara Torbati among the 42 entrants this evening.

Tuesday November 4th 2025

 Two score players faced off tonight including four new players; Saeed Aligholi, Amin Moodi, Ali Amiri and Marina Smith.

We welcomed the return Dennis Mercovich who has been in Queensland for several months.

Gary was declared player of the month for October and was also the drawn jackpot player. Although he won all of his matches, he failed to make the top score of the night thus forfeiting the jackpot.

Mehdi was the Giantslayer to take on ladder leader Zhiman.
