In the 2017 NSW state singles zone 14 southern section semi finals Jack Lewis def Phil Baker and Greg Brims def Bruce Anderson.
A red hot Jack Lewis def Greg Brims in the final.

Marker Leigh Hardingham did a wonderful job, but the question was asked “is it legal for the marker to carry and use a lifter?”. Is this allowed under the conditions of play?

The keenly anticipated 3rd round of the 2017 major singles was washed out. Matches are now scheduled for 22/23 July.

The Port KIA 2017 prestige pairs again was an outstanding success. Major prize winners were – 1st Phil Baker/John Hrabak with 7 wins, 1 draw margin 51. 2nd Peter Taylor 7 wins margin 74 and 3rd Mark Parry / Steve Clancy 7 wins, margin 41.

The new winter jackets have arrived – they look smart too. See Phil Baker to buy one (They are currently on special for a short time).
