Andy Dibben retains Honeygrove Cup
Just short of a full house of 11 players entered our annual Advanced Tournament, the Honeygrove Cup, with most of the usual suspects.
Our lawns were delightful and the fastest they’ve ever been. The weather was a little cool with the wind, but held up until a rain shower after most people had finished at the end of Saturday.
Chris Coull seemed to be running away with the tournament, beaten undefeated after 5 games. However it was all up to the final game – Andy v Chris. In the end Andy ran out the easy winner as Chris only managed one hoop and won the tournament on a tie-break since he’d also got 5 wins and had beaten Chris.
