Club Championship 2022
With a distinctly new format, the excitement was building all week. And it didn't disappoint.
The Honey Badgers went in as deserved favorites and rightly so based on a solid season and dominating the rounds taking out the minor premiership. The Donkeys were ready and the Hornets had a disrupted lead up with some last minute team changes but came together well. However, such is the nature of this challenging finals format that anything can happen.
Tops were hard to always going to be hard to obtain and this proved to be the case with only one top on problem one. The heavy lifting was going to come by the players reaching zones and the Bunker comes into play here to help.
Problem two was an interesting co-ordination dynamic route with a super tricky finish. There were no tops here but very close by Liam Smith and Archie Eather who both clocked in zone 2 as did Daniel Wilson.
Problem three was a slab where there were a number of tops and close-to-finish moments. 4 minutes disappears very quickly in moments like these and this opened up the scores between the teams.
Problem four was always going to be challenging with tricky and tough early beta. Zone 1 was achieved by all players but zone 2 and top were tough. The Donkeys Nikala Murray unpacked the early beta and was able to help Liam push close to topping but had to settle with zone 2 in the end. The Honey Badgers Henry George worked hard to ultimately top the problem and Archie followed suit to open up the score lead in the end.
The Honey Badgers rep players consisting of Archie Eather, Lachie McNee, Henry George, Marty Siddons, Will Doyle and Brendan Byrne won the trophy for the Club with a score of 210. Donkeys in second on 155 and the Hornets on 130.
This was the first Club Championship season so well done to everyone involved to make this a truly memorable season and close out 2022.
Look out 2023 as we look to build on our already solid community.
