BRIBIE
WINNERS
AWAY WOW!!!
Well, we saw the photos of the croquet winners in the Bribie Island competitions but there is a much bigger picture. Many of the players have been entering competitions around Queensland and doing very well, really putting Bribie Island on the map. Not just entering but winning too! I asked some of them to tell me about their experiences. Q Janis, how did you find playing in Competitions? A “There is a big difference playing away from playing at home. Referees watch every move, we have to be so careful to stick to the rules – quite different from social play at home. You need to feel fit to play so many games in the day.” Q Sue, how does it affect your game playing in competitions? A “Playing people of a higher standard does improve your game. Perhaps it’s a

combination of learning from their example, or possibly a case of rising to the occasion, with the competitive spirit kicking in.” Sue also said how tiring it is refereeing, she should now as she has refereed many times this season as well as competing herself.

Q Dick, where have you played this season? A “Nambour, Southport, Hervey Bay, Wynnum, Eilden all different courts. The discipline of playing with time clocks, pegs, stiff refereeing is all good experience. Also, some players who have played for years are extremely experienced and cunning!” Q Denis, you have played in many competitions and refereed this season but what was the highlight? A “Well that would have to be October Open doubles at Wynnum. That is when I won the Golf Croquet Peninsular Plaque. It was a double whammy for Bribie as Dick won the division two prize. Go Bribie!!!” So, we are the champions!! Perhaps you would like to try croquet?
