20.01.2022 Each time we hold an Australian GB Championship we have teams who just dont get visas. For our 2019 event an Indian Team lead by Prince Choudhary submitted an entry well in advance but failed to obtain visas. Gateball Australia was disappointed that Prince and his team did not make our event but are pleased to see his great news. Best wishes Prince! https://www.facebook.com/100000927114873//4206765679364294/

16.01.2022 Wonderfull to see so many people giving gateball a go at the carnival of croquet last weekend at Cairnlea in Victoria.

13.01.2022 There was a very good competition held at Caloundra Mallet Sports Club over the weekend of 14-16th November. With 11 teams attending and 15 pairs of Doubles arriving to compete, this shows the faith that so many Clubs have in the Management of Caloundra Club to be able to host a Covid -Safe Gateball Competition. They hosted the State Gateball Championships in August and it was a very friendly but competitive event. Thank you to many people at the Club but especially Glenda Windust and Howard Williams! The photos below show four courts in action.

02.01.2022 A day and a half of Doubles competition was held at Caloundra following on from the Gateball Teams Competition. The title of the event is called "Masters and Apprentices". It was a very apt name for this year in particular. Quite a few players, new to Doubles, played in the 15 pairs that competed. Also, quite a few new combinations were having a wonderful time. As so many people remarked, it has been delightfully friendly time this weekend. Block A winners- The Wanderers - Br...uce McAlister and Peter Sweet- played the winners of Block B- Fran Buckle and Robyn Brown. The Wanderers have shown themselves Masters at this game having won it 3 times before. The Apprentices were Fran and Robyn. They played a good tactical game but lost to the seasoned pair of Bruce and Peter. Congratulations to The Wanderers. Sue Dixon, President of Caloundra Mallet Sports Club, made the presentations.
