Pickleball popularity is booming on Bribie and we have some champions among us! 

 

Bribie Pickleball Club caters for beginners and social games through to supporting tournament and league players. 

 

The Australian Pickleball Championships were held recently on the Gold Coast (October 2-7) at an iconic venue, the KDV Sports Centre in Carrara. 

 

Some fantastic results included:  

  • Gold medallist Trish Jones in the women’s 70-plus singles and Maureen Rennie coming away with the bronze. 

  • Adele Fielding, playing with Yvonne Ragg from South Australia, won a silver medal in the 75-plus women’s doubles and Harry Fielding just missed out on a medal in the 75-plus men’s doubles with partner Cyril Geer. 

  • Berny Self and Anita Chandran were tipped as favourites for a medal in the mixed doubles. 

 

Congratulations to all of the lucky winners and everyone who participated in this national competition.
