A “big” event with sponsors so entry fee was higher and prizes were higher. Huddersfield sent 4 teams. Pete, Margaret and Didier were Les deux garçons et une fille; Robin, Rita and Shirley from Heckmondwike were Rock and RollerS; Brendan, Nell & Roy were Menage a trois; Kevin, Christine and Bill from Heckmondwike also took part .
There were many teams and the format was leagues of 4 in the morning which split the field into knockouts in the afternoon with better placed teams being in Gold, then Silver then Bronze Finals where 8 teams played quarters, semis and a final. So every team had a chance of winning something in the afternoon at their own level. Full results later
Comments from players
Although we didn’t score high the 3 of us certainly enjoyed being part of such an enjoyable and extremely well organised event . We will continue to enter more events where we get the opportunity to play against players of a high standard as it can only improve our game.
We made Gold finals section but lost in the quarter final
It was an excellent day and very well organised and run by Hecky. We won our morning league with 3 wins from 3 games and went into the Gold competition in the afternoon. We won our first game in this against Robin’s team so went into the Gold semi-final where we lost to 11 to a team from Rainworth PC who made it to the Gold final. As Gold semi-finalists Menage a Trois trousered £100 – the best win I have had so far.
Our team were losing semi finalists in the Silver section and won £50.
