Only one player managed to win all seven games of the day, that being Margaret Coulter in Recreation Division. In Masters Division, I was leading for most of the day but was worn down in the last round by Edward Okulicz, thanks to his resounding beating of Robin Duncan and my relatively narrow win over Rod Talbot.
The best word played against me on the day was FORSLOES (Robin Duncan) and the best play I heard about was by Tony Hunt, placing FORE in front of CABIN to make FORECABIN and a winning score.
Players to watch based on results and observations are Rocky Sharma, Yvonne Edwards and Mike Oxby.
The local Wi Marn Thai Restaurant was the venue for the traditional post-tournament feast and postmortems. This was organized by Joanne Craig who was returning to club scrabble after her recent fine effort in the Victorian Championships.
