By Bridging the Gap.Twenty ladies played 30 boards last week & it was a difficult decision making day for both directions! South suffered with few points & there were only 7 hands in either direction that had 25 or more combined points to confidently bid to game. Congratulations to Liz Ogilvie & Sue Hood who were N/S winners with 59.48%, followed by Sandra Haynes & Sally Macdonald who scored 54.90%. Great result for Jill Perkins & Sars Crawford winning E/W with 59.27% closely followed by Helen Edwards & Jenny Pridham on 58.44%.  In the illustrated board neither direction had an 8 card ‘fit’ in any suit.  Although E/W collectively had 22 high card points, a No Trump bid was potentially disastrous considering North’s 6 Diamonds plus E/W were Vulnerable! Bidding was tricky for both sides & consequently there were 5 different bids. Not one of the 5 bids was successful […]

By Barb Altus. In a match with many momentum changes Mundulla started fast but Border Districts were sharper and won by nineteen points to reach their first Grand Final since 1999. The Tigers’ Burgess and Dylan Mosey drove the ball into attack where Studham marked and kicked truly in the first minute, then McGrice passed to Studham who goaled again, before Hollams, Stephan, Grosser and Hinge again worked the ball forward where Studham registered his hat-trick in as many minutes. Borders attacked and recorded a two minor scores, then after a behind by the Moots, the Eagles’ Hausler and Hewson forced the ball forward where Quinn marked from the back of the pack and made no mistake. Mundulla replied when Redden, Ridgway and D Mosey drove the ball to Nick Mosey who kicked accurately, before Border Districts’ Schoenmakers and Pretlove immediately slammed the ball into attack where Rata kicked truly, […]

By Barb Altus. Mundulla’s strong first quarter enabled them to hold on through Kingston’s fine second term and the low-scoring second half to book their place in the 2023 Grand Final. The Tigers dominated the scoring in the first term, attacking quickly with Packer and Scown featuring, and after a rushed behind Perry and Lowe drove the ball forward where Billy Wiese collected the loose ball on the run and made no mistake. The Moots’ next shot hit the post, then Jarred Wiese, Eamon Staude and Obst worked the ball to Packer who kicked truly, before Weatherald passed to Scown who handpassed to B Wiese who turned and goaled. The Saints recorded a minor score and Mundulla replied in kind before Scown, Obst and Dowling directed the ball to Packer who marked and goaled and at quarter-time the Tigers led 4-3-27 to 0-1-1. The seasiders lifted in the second term, […]
