AN END TO THE WINTER SEASON We are already into the finals of the Winter season. I’m not making any predictions about the winners, but the Grand Finals on the 3rd of August should be a great night. The Leading Players for the Winter season have already been decided, and the winner in A Grade is Michael Louey, taking the honours over Chris Addis. Mitch Braini took out the B Grade award, with Graham Huggett just behind him, and Brian Guy dominated in C Grade. Congratulations to these deserving winners for a great season. CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS The annual 3 weeks of Club Championships is upon us. This is always a fun time of the year and there are some great trophies on offer. Week 1 on the 10th of August is the Handicap Championship. Every player has a chance of winning this, regardless of your standing in the club. Each player is given a handicap ranking and matches are played up to 31 points. Some top players may start on 0 or even a negative points score, while the lower rated players may start on up to 25 points. It’s fun to watch the top players sweating in these games, as they can’t afford to make a mistake.
