2025 Club Championship Week 19
Week 19 of the 2025 Club Championship / round
9 of the President's Trophy half of
the year was played on October 28th with 16
players.
With only one meeting to go it's down to a two horse race for the 2025 Club
Championship.
Brian Ramsey is only 2 points
ahead of Tony Walker and they will fight out the top spot in the same
section at the last meeting of the year. Dave Bower and Robet Disney will
play for 3rd spot in another section of the draw. Depending on results, the
players at 9-11 are still viable chances of making the newly named Les
Pierpoint Top 8 Trophy.
Winners of week 19 were Greg Singleton, Tony Walker, Katie Cherrington and
Mick Dyett.
2025 Open and Women's WBIF Teams Championships
The Newcastle Club is
supplying 3 of the 8 players to take part in the WBIF Teams Championships to
be played online on Heroes.
Mick Dyett is joining Malcolm Hutson, Greg Kurrell, Simon Ustick and Steve
Quinn in the Open section. The first three rounds are against opponents from
Sweden, USA and Greece.
Results of the first three rounds have Australia losing two lives against the USA and Greece but remaining in the competition with a win over Sweden. This means the future rounds for the Open team are sudden death
The Australian Open team survived against the Netherlands in round 4 thanks to a 13-5 win by Mick Dyett in the deciding match after winning a gammon on 4 with the score at 5-5
Katie Cherrington and Michelle Taubman are teamed with Maricar Ustick, Cynthia Belonogoff and Tatiana Morgan in the Women's Team Championship against teams from Portugal, Romania and Egypt in the first three rounds.
After the first three
rounds, the Women's
team ran the gauntlet and won all three and were ranked number 1 of the 25
teams.
All members had won at least one match but the standouts so far are Maricar
and Cynthia
(both 3 from 3). The team has six members and therefore is rotating players
round by round. In round four, Denise Prasser is substituting for Cynthia.
In round 4, Australia plays Turkiye which they lost and round 5 was another
loss to Germany 2/3. This means they are now also in sudden death mode for
the remainder of the tournament
The Women's team is currently 8th and the Open team is 28th
The format is triple
elimination which means the teams have 3 lives to lose before being
eliminated. At least three wins against each opposing team from the five
matches to be played wins the individual ties.
Social Backgammon Meetings
There is no Social night this fortnight.

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.

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.
