2002
SA CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 1st HALF YEAR RESULTS.
BILL KORALLIS
DEFEATS
SIEGFRIED POHLENZ
The
2002 Club Championship Playoffs first half season had, as
usual, ten starters. In order they were;
- SEIGFRIED POHLENZ
- NICK BEGAKIS AM
- JOHN O'GRADY
- BILL TOUBAKARIS
- KOSTIS TSOUKARIS
- PETER PETROFF
- CHRIS BENHAM
- ROGER PRIME
- ANGELO ALI
- BILL KORALLIS
In all
of this, BILL KORALLIS just scraped through in at number 10.
But he showed his latent potential by blitzing the field and
knocking off, in the final rounds, both NICK BEGAKIS in the
semi's and SIEGFRIED POHLENZ in the final to win through.
Bill has struggled with poor form for some time but just can't
do a thing wrong, right now. Bill now plays in the Grand Final
at year's end. If he plays as well in the second half as in
the first, he may yet get to “play with himself”
in the final.
Well
done-BILL KORALLIS.

JUSTIN
FREYTAG WINS THE 2002 ANGIE HAMBOUR MEMORIAL BACKGAMMON CHAMPIONSHIPS
A full
but restricted field of 16 starters played an innovative second
chance tournament designed to give players more than one chance
a victory. As it was, JUSTIN FREYTAG cruised through without
a loss. The final required BILL TOUBAKARIS to win two matches
but, as shown below, this was not necessary. The final match
score sheet showing the close win by JUSTIN FREYTAG over BILL
TOUBAKARIS is below.
