Winter Finals Day 2017

We had a truly wonderful Finals Day last Saturday that was followed by a marvelous Irish Night in the evening.

The weather was so good that umpires were concerned about getting sunburnt at the beginning of April!

The standard of play was exceptional with the Juniors in particular enjoying several close and gripping matches.

The full results for the day are attached

Days like this need lots of organising and preparation.  I’m listing below names of people who did so much to make it a terrific SLTC day and evening.

A huge thanks to you for making things happen.

If I missed anyone out do forgive me and I’ll compensate them with a glass of something from behind the bar.

1. Umpires – Chris Watson, Dee Easter, Chris Hicks, Shaun Barker, Charlotte Trzcinska, Myles Griffith, Mike Dunphy
2. Cakes – Val, Nicola, Ginnie, Charlotte
3. Bar – Graham
4. Lunch – Patience
5. Kitchen – For the many who helped clear up and serve
6. Trophies – Carrie for collecting them for the day
7. Irish Night – Jane for organising the food and the quiz, Tony and Ginnie for their music and vocals
8. Bar – Graham again
