Melbourne Corporate Triathlon

We also had a fantastic turnout at the Melbourne Corporate Triathlon, which never fails to deliver a fun-filled morning. Conditions were close to perfect, although our bike riders and runners had to push through a strong headwind, and our swimmers tackled some classic bay-sized waves!

Thanks to Mark Lewis and Hayden Calway for throwing an apron on and feeding the troops on race day.

PICKLE

SOCIALCLUB

The HGSC headed to the National Pickleball League in South Melbourne on 21st Feb for some beers, pizza and a hotly contested Pickleball tournament! There was no shortage of self confidence amongst the teams however for many that did not translate to having even the slightest hint of ability on the Pickleball court.

EBALL

After 90 mins of hotly contested Pickleball we were left with 4 teams –Number 1 seeds Justin Cleaves & Dan Zammit who were up against Matt Love & Sienna Gittus, and Tim Petts & Matt Stiles (who was showing his versatility by rocking the work boots) up against Alex Joubert & PJ, who made the semi finals after some very contentious line calling.

It was to this point that everyone realised that Sienna had most likely played some decent level tennis before with the double handed backhand coming out and easily disposing of the top seeds Justin & Dan Despite some strong allegations of time wasting tactics in the other semi, the now Pickleball villains PJ & Alex made it through to face Matt & Sienna

In what can only be described as a meltdown to rival Jan Navotna at 1993 Wimbledon, PJ & Alex raced to an early 6 point lead before Sienna got serious and started unleashing an enormous forehand which the boys had no answer for and eventually buckled under the pressure as Sienna & Matt came away big winners. It was a fantastic evening with a bit of exercise, beers, food and laughs for our first social club event for the year.

Our next event will be on Friday, 16th May at the Orrong Hotel for sit down dinner, drinks and footy on the big screen We have more exciting events planned for later in the year so don’t be afraid to jump on board and get around the social club – contact Matt Love.
