Brett seems to be relatively up to date with all these doubles matches these days … only a year behind which is neither here or there. We all remember the good old days when he was decades behind. Back then there were time paradoxes with members winning events years before they had joined the club and masters competing in the junior events. Maybe we should confiscate his calendar and return the fun to the place.

Finals: David Hay & Nathan Baker defeated Stuart Strange & Matthew Dunn 8-6
It was a huge field with four groups which is very impressive for doubles. It was great to see three Melbourne based players viz Matthew, Doug and Ross make the effort to come up and be rewarded with semis berths. In the end David Hay and Nathan Baker are the worthy winners in a close final with Stuart and Matthew. Congratulations.
