Well done Nairn MacGibbon and Helen King who won the mens and womens Wellington Open Singles yesterday! Nairn beat Bruce Miller (Wilton) 21-14 for his second centre title (the previous was an Open Triples title with Rod Leitch and Bruce Henderson), and Helen was too good for Wendy Mackie (Lower Hutt Womens) 21-9 for her 17th centre title. Helen had a particularly tough draw coming through Clare McCaul in the quarterfinal and Judy Howat in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

The events were\u00a0very good for Victoria with Raymond Martin unlucky to go down to Nairn in the semifinals 21-20 and Lisa White going close 21-19 to Mackie in her semifinal. Victoria had 8 men in the last 32 which was as many as any other club had starting entrants in the event, and 5 from the 6 Victoria women qualified.<\/p>\n

Nairn becomes only the second Victoria male to win the Mens Open Singles trophy after Lou Newman won it twice (the last in 2003-04), but Victoria has dominated the Womens Open Singles in recent years winning the trophy five times in seven years (2 for Helen, 2 for Leigh Griffin and 1 for Yvonne Smith).<\/p>\n

Thats 24 points for club of the year! And fantastic support with 20 Victoria members watching the finals yesterday afternoon. Great stuff everyone!<\/p>\n
