Report by Glenda Rountree on the Manly Superclub 5’s.
The inaugural Superclub 5s was held at Manly over Kings Birthday Weekend for 1-8 players(any combination). 16 teams were entered.
A team from Mairangi Bay was entered – Barry Baillie, Graeme McGregor, Hanaan Shahwan, Rosemary Nicol, Judi Farkash and Glenda Rountree.
Day 1 :
Pairs/Triples/Fours and Singles were played in the morning/afternoon against random teams (8 games) and we managed to have 4 wins which put us in Division 3 for the next day.
Day 2 :
First up we played Manly (Shaun Goldbury’s team) – and then Orewa – both tough teams – 2 losses – which meant we had to play off for 3rd. Played a team from Takapuna – yay a win! which meant we came 3rd in our division.
Winners – Howick. 2nd – Russell. 3rd Orewa..
A barbecue was held both days at lunch time – the weather held (thank goodness) in all a very well run enjoyable weekend.
