August was a busy month for Dural Bocce Club. Club competitions continued on a weekly basis with members hitting the courts every Tuesday morning and Friday evening.
The beginning of the month saw our men members compete for the 2025 Men’s Pairs Championship. In most club competitions the make up of each team is determined by names drawn out of the hat, however for this event players were able to nominate their own team members.
After three hard fought rounds the decision came down to a final head-to-head competition between two excellent teams. Congratulations to our eventual winners, Mario and Tony, and our runners up, Guido and Ferdinando.
Later in the month our club was proud to send a representative team; comprised of Mary, Aldo, Luciano and Nick, to compete in the Marconi Cup. This is a very prestigious competition held annually at the Marconi Club at Bossley Park that attracts top club teams from all over Australia.
The competition is two full days of top flight bocce. It involves teams in a round robin format playing several 65 minutes games over the first day and a half, followed by semifinals and finals.
Our team fought hard and, while not in the final top three, they represented our club with great skill and sportsmanship and were well rewarded for their efforts. Want to learn more or give it a try? We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch and join the fun at Dural Bocce Club! Contact Trisha Sundin on 0408 630 548.
