Over the weekend ACTEBA held the 2018 Masters Singles Event.
This saw our biggest turnout for the event with 28 players and some strong competitors. Congratulations to Richard Bondietti who defeated Paul Wilcott 9-8 in the Grand Final. This is Richards first state title which is well deserved after defeating some of the events favourites on his way to the final. Commiserations to Paul, but well done on making the final and congratulation on also taking out some big scalps on the way to the final.
