Handicap Tournament Night – Thursday 22nd August
The games were ten minutes long with all teams playing each other.
We had four teams on the night. Robert & Denis’ teams were short on players so decided to combine for the tournament. Tobi and Jacob each had full strength teams. Nixie brought along a very strong team and was given the biggest starting handicap of negative ten points.
Jacob and Tobi’s teams got off to a good start, both comfortably beating Robert & Denis’ team, but Nixie’s team, in spite of the ten point handicap, beat all the other teams to claim the “Bugger Me” trophy.
A new record was made. This is the first time a team with more than one girl has won a competition!

After the restart Denis took possession of the ball and neatly slotted a goal a few seconds from the end to take the game 20 to 18.
