Jacques Cochonnet Trophy Challenge
6 September 2020
Kapiti seventh defence of the Jacques Cochonnet Trophy was at home to Otaki.
Kapiti had a good start winning two of the three first round games. In the second round Kapiti won all three games ensuring once more the trophy. Kapiti won two more games in the last round to win the challenge 7-2.
Kapiti eighth defence of the Jacques Cochonnet Trophy was at home to Manawatu.
Kapiti had a perfect start winning the first three round games. In the second round Kapiti won all three games again ensuring the trophy. Kapiti won two more games in the last round to win the challenge 8-1.
Seventeen players took part in the Khandallah 4-Boules Singles. The format was a 6-round Swiss of 45 minute games with no extra ends and ties were permissable.
In keeping with the experimental nature of the event, the prize pool was split into two parts. Part one was a random draw each round which saw one player win $10. The other prize pool was split so that every game winner won $1. If a player won all 6 games then their prize money was doubled.
Did the incentive make a difference? Probably not, but everyone had a lot of fun, the weather behaved and all players won some of their entry fee back.
Dave Gwerder (Upper Hutt) won all 6 games to win the inaugural Khandallah 4-Boules Singles.
Below is the team selected to play in the Tri-Star in Ashburton 28th and 29th November.
Claire Bradburn
Yvonne Futcher
Michelle Maxwell
Kevin McFadgen
Tony Simpson
Alan Taylor
Debby Butler (Reserve)
