HPW Accountants Cairns Classic 2009

16 teams entered this event to compete for prize money of $6,000.00

The event commenced at 9am on Saturday 19th September with teams smartly out of the blocks because the event was conducted under a time limit of 2 ½ hours for each game and the first Saturday the teams were to play 3 games.

Each of these teams had to hold up for 7 hours on Saturday and at least 5 hours on the Sunday to try and snatch a win for the big money. Although teams were paid for rink wins it was necessary for each of them to win as many games as possible.

At the end of the tournament there was only 1 team with 5 rink wins which made the organisers’ job a little easier to work out who was the overall winner. We must congratulate all who contested this event but special congratulations to the underdogs who turned it all around to defeat some of the biggest names in our area.

We must also thank Harry Wszola who was the major sponsor with his company HPW Accountants. Harry was also kind enough to join us for the presentation on Sunday afternoon (see winners photos) and has promised renewed sponsorship for next year, which is our centenary year.
