Rookie scores first points then retires hurt
It was a dark and stormy night… well almost – it was bloody cold for late October, and it was windy and raining. Our host Tara even had a fresh log burning in the fireplace at Yowie Bay.
The ever popular Sherlock Holmes was our main game, and it was won by none other than El Presidente, Wayne. Tara came second and Jiordan broke her personal drought by coming third. Rule 7.5, the “Rookie Protection” rule prevents Jiordie from the ignominy of taking home the Wooden Spoon, 2021 will be her year to shine.
The also ever popular Ride ’em Cowboy was our backup, and it was the usual thrills and spills, so much so that Jiordan left early while coming third in the game due to a flare up of her netball injury – she recently had surgery on her right pinkie finger and it started to throb. The placings were Tara, Louise, Nicole in that order. Genelle and El Trez both WHP.
Look at the graph – Tara with 100 points tonight has broken away from the pack and it looks like the trophy winners are already decided unless something spectacularly unusual happens in November. Rob‘s close pursuit of the lead held by Louise has slackened off from a 10 point gap back to 35 points, but it’s still a close race. November’s program hosted by Nicole is unusual and the results unpredictable.
The annual Dinner and Presentation night is coming up, possibly December 16, stay tuned for further information. Please consider catching up your dues at the November meet, there are three members in the red.
