Calcutta Tournament
Brad Robinson & Keith Hobman successfully ran our very first Calcutta Tournament with plenty of action over the course of 3 weeks!
The auction night was nothing short of entertaining with plenty of cash being thrown onto some of Papakura's finest players!
Brad Robinson was bought by the old boy syndicate consisting of Bob Daw, Paul Knight, Steve Callaghan & Russell Padmore. Sadly the old boys backed the wrong horse when Nick Waanders came through triumphant in a grueling 5 setter against Robinson who made him work hard for his win. Waanders was backed by Callaghans better half Liz and came away with an eye watering $1700!
Well done to all players involved.
Finalists Robinson & Waanders with adoring fans
