Hi Pamela,
Badge Report
Round 7 of Badge was again affected by rain and only 3 Men’s Teams played.
Manly 5 lost 8-0 to Killara away The loss of 4 tiebreakers was crucial.
This team is now 7th
Manly 6 Lost 6-0 at home v Kooroora
Losing 3 tiebreakers was crucial again. Still in 3rd position
Manly 7 Won 6-0 in the rain at home v Royal Sydney
Barnaby and Daniel won 3 sets with one unfinished as did Andy and partner
The team is now 6th.
The PM had good news and bad news in his Badge Match for Marrickville at Killara. He finally won a set to take his season score to 1 from 12. The bad news is his team still lost 7-1 and is a long last!
The other good news is his NRL team The Rabbitohs are starting to win but it is too late as The Grand Final will be Bulldogs v Manly or Penrith.
Hopefully The Blues can win a game next week.
The Manly Men’s 1 and Ladies 1 both play at home next Saturday.
See you there.
Denis Crowley
We have now completed the first round of Badge for both the Thursday and Saturday Leagues.
