Tony Tamplin Shield

Wangi Worker’s Club No.2 has taken out the Tony Tamplin Shield after defeating the favourites, the Cessnock Ex-Services Club No.1. Although the score line was 3-1 the matches were close and Cessnock could have easily won 3-1 had the balls run a little kinder. However the Wangi team held their nerve in some tight matches to claim the premiership – well done to Wangi. A special thanks the the Belmont 16′ Sailing Club for hosting the final. Another Wangi player, Kiah Bloomfield took out the seasons highest break with a clinical ’83’.

Wangi Worker’s defeated the Kahibah Kings and Cessnock Ex-Services Club No.1 defeated the Tennis Club Titans to both progress to this years Tony Tamplin Grand Final. The Grand Final will be held at the Belmont 16′ Sailing Club 7pm on the 28th September. Spectators encouraged to attend.
