The six arrivals today divided into two groups of three. In the first group Chris Palazzi drew the single tile to play Jan Trengove and Helen Bryant, a formidable pair as mentioned in past reports. Everyone started the game very happily and then Chris scored a few extra hoops to head into the lead. From then on, Jan and Helen carefully planned and carried out their strategies which kept Chris on her toes. Chris, however had a lot of tactical moves up her sleeve and managed to keep in front and peg out. 26-17.

Alison Muggridge and Jenny Walker teamed up to play Pam Boler and Heather Edwards. They reported a very humid morning which did not encourage anyone to put energy into the game and therefore nothing very exciting happened. The score at the end was 13 to Pam and Heather, 9 to Alison and Jenny.

Two games today of four each. In the first game Alison Muggridge and Jenny Walker played Helen Bryant and Marija Buturac. It was reported that they all had a lovely game even though no-one was playing their best. Alison and Jenny finished with 10 hoops, but Helen and Marija fared much better with their strokes and tactics and managed a good score of 21 hoops.
Ana Kusetic and Colleen Houghton played Pam Boler and Chris Palazzi. Ana and Colleen moved off hoop one very quickly and scored a few hoops to their credit before Pam and Chris started their scoring and caught up. From then on, the game swung to and from, each player scoring hoops in ones and twos. Finally, Pam and Chris finished in front with 20 hoops to 12.
