Well done to Lou Newman for making the final of the Wellington Open Singles at Victoria last weekend. Lou came through a very tough draw beating Rob Ashton, Blake Signal, Ray Martin, Ray Boffa and Bruce Henderson before being pipped 20-21 to Johnsonville’s Brendon Gibson in the final in front of a large gallery of spectators.
Yvonne Gibb also made the last day going down 9-21 to former Victoria player Lisa White in the semifinals.
Much thanks goes to all of the markers, kitchen helpers and barmen who volunteered their services over the two days of post section, and to the green staff who earned a lot of complements on the playing surfaces.
