Cut Throat Tournament
The annual cut throat tournament took place at the club on Saturday June 8th. This was sponsored once again by the Childs family and we are most appreciative of Gerry's support for the club.
Last year's winner was Al Bell but he could not repeat his 2023 success finishing tied for fifth place. We have a new name to put on the trophy – Andrew Perry. Congratulations to him as he won the tournament with a total of 126 points, seven ahead of second place Terry Bradshaw.

Five of the twelve teams in this tournament were from Cobourg so there were high hopes that some of them would be in the prizes. At least one player on each team had to be a novice.
Martin Foxhall and Lynn Bryans brought in a “ringer”, Pierre Vanderhout from Kingston and they won the two game high prize. The next two game high was the team of Ben van Steijn, Jacob Hyatt and Emmalee Smith. They lost out in their final match to the tournament winners from Lindsay.
Also with two wins (but not in the prize money were Baylee van Steijn, Sarah van Steijn and Michelle Tinney.
The other two Cobourg teams competing, with one win each, were Al Gourd, Anne Leahey and Brent Perkins. And Bill Arthur, Sheri Perkins and Louisa Arthur.
