POPPY SAYS: Another successful playoff was held at the Coolie Hotel to start and finished at Dolphins Hotel at Tweed Heads, our thanks go out to both venues especially to Wayne at Dolphins for saving our butts and giving us a table to finish it up on for as long as we needed it after we had to finish up at Coolie at 5pm (No fault of Geoffrey’s). 56 players turned up to do battle, and it was a great day had by all. Many old faces (some very old, sorry Captain) were there and some refreshing new faces as well, Jo Buckley came from afar (Yamba) and played really well and brought her own cheer squad which was great and will add a lot of starch to the ladies comps. Rusty Cheshire came out of hibernation, Matty and Vanessa came to the party and Vanessa played the best I have seen her play and finished equal 2nd with Anne McLaughlin behind Mel Malone for the highest placed lady. The potential ladies team is shaping up really well with Sammy, Judy, Jamie, Kristy, and Tracey and a few more in the mix it looks to be a very competitive team.
