2025 Captain's Trophy Finals
The
Captain's Trophy finals were held on June 24th with
a season high 23 players. Welcome to new players Hugo Kidd-Matthews and Rob
Matthews.
For the first time in many years we were able to run a third tier for the
bottom third of the table after struggling to make a full 2nd division in
previous times.
Captain's Trophy winner Gerhardt Macor and 2nd Division winner Scott Hall
(in his first year) both came from the 8th position on the grids whilst Mick
Dyett won a close final of the third tier from newcomer Hugo Kidd-Matthews.
Mick was in the third tier due to missing quite a few rounds with travel and
other unavailability.
The grids for the 3 finals are below:

2023 Newcastle Backgammon Club AGM
The 2023
AGM of the Newcastle Backgammon Club was held on MONDAY, December 11th at
Club Charlestown.
The 2023 AGM report is on the AGM page .
Final Round 2023 Club Championship
The final round of the 2023 Club Championship was held on November 14th with 13 players. Warm welcomes to Jade Harris and Bruno Nagle who attended their first night and were very competitive.
Congratulations to defending Champion Tony Walker on completing the double,
holding off the pack by 3 points in the end. Going into the last round it
was a lot less clear than it seemed 4 weeks ago as to which way the placings
would finish as five players had a shot at filling the top 3.
Robert Disney's win the the round robin containing Tony and Brian Ramsey and
Mick Dyett's win in Group 2 meant Brian, Mick and Robert all finished on
113pts behind Tony's 116pts. Brian placed second on nightly wins while Mick
and Robert played a 1 pointer to confirm Mick in third spot.
Winners of round 19 were Robert Disney, Mick Dyett, Jade Harris and Bruce
Parr.
Top 8 Trophy Final
Congratulations to
Gerhardt Macor on taking out the 2023 Top 8 Final, over Mick Dyett ,from the
unlikely position of 10th on the final Championship table.
It's hard to remember anyone that has even got a start from 10th place but
the unavailability of Dave Bower and Greg Mitchell from the original 8 gave
Gerhardt as well as ninth place finisher Kristine Claffey a start in the
Final.
