Tony Tamplin Shield

The Tony Tamplin Grand Final was won by Wangi Workers No.1 team in a hard fought close match over Tennis Club.

Kenny Plows and Ray Loveridge got Wangi away to a great start with hard fought wins over Ramsey Vong and Mark Toward
Tennis fought back with a strong win by Jake Davis over Greg King with Jake showing a lot of skill with a break of 27

John Duchatel and Ben Cooper on table 2 and Neil Fatania and Kevin Parry on Table 3 battled to 1 frame all and a comeback by Tennis looked possible
John Duchatel broke Tennis hearts potting the double black after the third frame was tied.

The match was played in excellent spirits and at a high standard

Congratulations to Wangi Workers No.1 on winning the Tony Tamplin Shield and also congratulations to Tennis Club who had a great season and came in Minor Premiers

Many thanks to Belmont 16ft Sailing Club for hosting the Grand Final and Glen Wallace for helping the committee with refereeing of matches
