RMTC sent teams up to Ballarat to compete in the Larwood (ladies) and Eureka (gents) Cups. As the current holders of both cups, expectations were high.
Pictured left are Gerald O’Byrne and Nick Brodie doing their bit for the RMTC Eureka team. Unfortunately, at the end of the day RMTC just missed out: with matches level, the result was determined on games, with the difference being just a single game.
Meanwhile, the ladies (including Stephanie Williams and Fiona Hewson, pictured below with Ballarat’s Cathie Faull and Annie Strange) only managed to win one of their matches, against a most impressive Ballarat team.
Next year the cups will be played at RMTC, where we hope with local knowledge and support they will be returned to Melbourne! Many thanks to Paul Williams for the photos. There are photos of every player in action, and each match’s post-game picture, in this online gallery.
