On a glorious spring day, 29 players enjoyed the sunshine while playing in the First Sunday of the Month competition for September. However, several players commented that they felt discombobulated because the lanes had been marked horizontally across the piste instead of our more common vertical arrangement. Thank you to Smitty and Adele for doing the line marking (and giving us a challenge) and to Myra and Richard for doing the piste sweeping.

Not even a stampede from the local kangaroos could put Remi, Ross and Alan B off who all managed to win three games out of three, and Smitty, Bob and Susan each won two out of two games.

In the men’s competition Remi came first overall on the day, followed by Alan B in second and Ross in third. In the women’s competition, Susan was first overall, followed by Vilma in second and Kerry H in third.

In the men’s cumulative results Smitty is leading, followed by Remi and then Rob F. In the women’s cumulative results, Adele is leading, followed by Catherine then Isa.

A huge thank you to Smitty and Adele for umpiring, and to Myra, one of our most recently qualified umpires, for umpiring under Smitty’s guidance.

We had 25 competitors for our August First Sunday of the Month competition on a glorious and sunny winter day. In the men’s division, Alan B led the field on the day, with Remi second and Rob F third. In the women’s division Megan was first on the day, with Kerry H second and Helen third.

Nobody won 3 games from 3, but several people won 2 from 2: Rob F, Megan, Helen and newcomer Mitch. There were no changes to the women’s overall leaderboard, with Isa leading, Adele second and Catherine third. However, in the men’s overall leaderboard, Greg dropped from 2nd to 4th place so Smitty is still first but Rob F moved up to second and Remi to third.

A huge thank you to Michael T and Jane for doing the piste sweeping and to Rob M and Helen for doing the lane marking. Thanks also to Rob M for umpiring all 3 games and to Helen for co-umpiring one game.
