Nottingham open doubles and triples

Over the weekend of 3rd and 4th July 2021, we hosted the Nottingham Open Doubles and Triples. Despite a pretty dire weather forecast, we got away with very little rain, and a successful weekend. For the doubles on the Saturday we had 27 teams taking part, with 17 in the triples on Sunday. Particular credit goes to the National Youth Squad, who took second place on both days, and were a credit to their coaching team, not just for their performance, but for their approach to their game, and friendliness and respect towards their opponents.

The Doubles was won by "Shoot or Bust", Ewan Cameron and John Geddes. Second were the National Youth Squad A,  Bailey Ingles and JJ Inkley. "??", comprising Pip Gilman and Christian Seville came third.

On Sunday, "PAT", Trevor Allen, Phil Price and Alistair Rabbage won the triples. Second were the National Youth Squad, Angus Hamilton, Bailey Inglis, JJ Inkley and Sam Rattue. "Rainworth Kestrels", Roger Allcock, Morris Goodman and Colin Lane came third.

A massive thank you to everyone. To those who helped set up the venue, to Carol and Margaret for the catering and the raffle, to Elaine for doing the scoring. But mostly, of course, to all those that took part.
