We welcome new members (both full and social), tours, friendly matches and competitive league players.

 

Club Short Mat Pairs Competition

  By
We have a wining team!
Alan and Helen Pallet – aka Stingers – are the Winners of the 2024-2025 Club Short Mat Pairs Competition. This father and daughter team proved to be a team that was hard to beat, yet gracious in their wins and losses.
They were presented with their Cups at a lunch at the Club today.
Peter and Marilyn Moodie – aka Torbay Tigers – are the runners up.  Even though they didn’t win the coveted cups, this husband and wife team are still happily married and looking forward to the next season!
Without the other Teams – aka Crazy Waiters, The Grumpies, New Kids on the Block, Pointless, The Puffins, AND Superduds – this competition wouldn’t have been possible or as much fun!
Thank you to everyone and see you, and hopefully some new teams, in October!
Best Wishes
Marilyn and Peter Moodie, Short Mat Pairs Organisers
