AFTER the excitement generated from the spring four-person challenge semi-finals, we hopefully expected a repeat performance this week.
The Barracudas were originally short favourites after the initial qualifying rounds, however two losses late in the season plus a very shaky and extremely fortunate win in the semis had us questioning their status. However their prowess was evident from the start as they proceeded to produce their best once again led by Jordan’s measured defeat of Kye and a somewhat confident success in the first two doubles.
At 5-2 up there was a sense of inevitability about the result and the season’s individual winners, Jordan and Jonas, not only clearly proved their position but closed out an emphatic win for their team.
Barracudas (R. Wheller, J. Brown, J. Campbell, S. Lidden ) d Raptors (K. McDonald, C. Barry, C. Galea, M. Duncan ) 8-4.
Competition night is Wednesday from 7pm and we also have a practise session on Monday nights from 7.15pm. Social groups meet three afternoons a week. All sessions are held at the Bicentennial Centre, Sunshine Beach.
