Victorian Open Team Playoff Results
Over the weekend of April 4th & 5th the selection playoff for the Victorian Open Team to represent the state at the Australian National Championships was held.
4 teams contested the semi final on Saturday and after 64 boards the EWART team (Neil Ewart, David Beckett, Simon Henbest, Dee Harley, Chen Ding, Paul Ruan) had beaten the MCROBERT Team (Gordon McRobert, TP Ranasinghe, Leo Saoud, Mohamed Ghatwari, John Yang, Kevin Chan) 124-101 and in the other semi-final EBERY (Jamie Ebery, Leigh Gold, Ming Zhang, Daniel Mao, Chris Hughes , Serhat Ozenir) beat FRAZER (Kim Frazer, George Lovrecz, Seb Wright, Alex Goss, Philip Chang, Kevin Gu) 222-55
The two winning semi finalists then played a nail biting 64 board final and after an astonishing 295 imps were exchanged EWART emerged as the winner by a mere 3 imps.
Congratulations to the EWART team and we wish them success at the ANC in July. In coming weeks the Seniors, Womens and Youth team selections will be completed
