We were blessed with yet another sunny day for the latest club competition, the Presidents Plate. An unprecedented number of entrants saw ten teams of triples play a series of four short games according to a swiss-system format. Despite some mighty close games, and numerous draws, two teams finished clear of the chasing pack and qualified for finals weekend. Hats off to Andrea who has been in fine form of late and qualified for her first final, alongside more seasoned teammates Cassie and AlanP. The second spot went to Pat, Keith & Dennis with a vital win in their last game. Thanks once again to Nikki, overcoming some particular challenges yesterday, to provide refreshments and lunch. Everyone is welcome to enter the last of our day-long competitions on Saturday 20th July, the grandly named Presidents Cup. It’s a singles 4-3-2-1 scoring format which favours those who may get close to the jack but tend to get pipped to shot wood!
The latest round of Friday Triples saw a first win for the team managed by AlanP, inflicting a first defeat for Alison’s team. There were also wins for Karen’s team and Nikki’s, who moved into joint top spot … Alison (6pts); Nikki (6pts); Eileen (4pts); Karen (4pts); Alan (2pts); Diane (2pts)
Sunbury have entered a team into Thursday night’s NW Surrey Mixed Fours league for some time, ably managed by Eileen. This year it was decided to enter another team, effectively doubling the woes for Eileen in arranging teams. But things are looking pretty bright thus far .. Div 2 (won 5; lost 2); Div 3 (won 3; lost 3).
Good luck to all those representing Sunbury in external competitions this week and to those partaking in our club competitions and Club Night .. the summer is racing through with July here tomorrow!
