Yesterday the club held its annual Open Triples competition when we were blessed with a nice fine morning which unfortunately turned to rain in the afternoon. The competition attracted 16 teams from the WPA and, for the first time ever, 2 teams from across the water from Filton PC & City of Bath PC, with the latter being reinforced by our own Andres Siso.<\/p>\n

The morning was played as 4 pools of 4 teams and the results of the pool stage can be found here<\/span><\/a><\/span>. The team led by Sean Smith put in the strongest performance in the Pool Stage, being the only team with 3 wins. Notable efforts by teams entirely from Monkstone were recorded by Ash Seath & Jayne Dunn, both with 2 wins.\"\"<\/p>\n

Time for Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n

The afternoon was played as two knockout competitions, Gold & Silver. All the teams were ranked according to their results in the pool stage, the top 8 played in Gold quarter final whilst the next 8 played in the Silver quarter final.<\/p>\n

The Quarter Finals produced a number of shock results when in the Gold competition Robin & Frances Ralph and Andres Siso overcame Len Field, Jean-Yves Robic and Julie Bailey [13-10] and Ash Seath, Keith Thomas and Steve Hawkey saw off Stuart Sutcliffe, Derek Jones & John Attfield [13-4]. In the all \"\"Monkstone clash in the Silver competition, Mike Wigg & Carol & John Maroney prevailed against Roger Green, Gill Clark & Phil Roberts [13-12].<\/p>\n

The Semi Finals also produced an unexpected result when, in the Gold, Sean Smith, Ian Bailey & Gareth Spencer were sent home by Tansy & Paul Mayfield and Harrison Ash [13-5].<\/p>\n

Play in Full Swing<\/strong><\/p>\n

So the Gold final was fought out between the Robin & Frances Ralph, Andres Siso combo and Tansy & Paul Mayfield and Harrison Ash with the latter prevailing by the narrow margin of 13-12 after recovering from being 6-12 down. In the Silver Final, Bernard & Vickie Adshead and Roger Griffin were pitted against Hugh Morris, Steve Griffiths and Chris James over whom they had prevailed by 13-10 in the Pool stage, but the Monkstone team just couldn’t get into the game and went down 13-5. The full results of the Knockout stage can be found here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank-you to all those who participated in, organised or helped in any way in what was a very successful and enjoyable competition.<\/p>\n
