GC Championship 2025

Holder: John Garnett

The GC Championship is our club’s annual internal GC Level Play competition.

The competition will run throughout the season and will culminate in a finals day on Saturday 6 September.

The tournament will use all-play-all blocks as described in the tournament regulations. Each player will play everyone in their block. Each match will consist of one game, best of 13 points.

As there were 14 entries, players have been divided into two blocks. That means everyone has six matches to play in their block.

The semi-finalists will be the top two from each block.

Find your block below, play each game and after each one enter the results.

Peter Allan qualified for the Semifinals through both his lives. The other semifinalists were John Garnett and Dave Grinstead. Peter went straight to the Final leaving John and Dave to battle it out for a place in the Final. Their games ebbed and flowed with John coming out on top with 7-6 and 7-4 wins. Peter was trying to regain the trophy he had won the previous two years. However, John toppled Peter with his jumps, clearances and good hoop running, winning 7-5 and 7-6. Well done John.

GC Championship Cup 2020

There are two groups. The winner in each group is decided by:

who wins the most matches
hoop differences
who beat whom
a penalty shoot out – boundary to hoop 1

The first and second in each group go to the semi-finals: A1 v B2 and B1 vs A2.

The result of each match shows the net hoops in that match and “W” denotes the winner and “L” the loser. Most of the time a positive number is associated with a “W” but this is not always the case. The last three columns (P, W and N) show the number of matches played, the number of wins and the overall net hoops. The results are ordered by most wins and the largest net hoops. The blocks are now complete so final positions have been decided using the first two criteria listed above as necessary.
