Melbourne Club Premiers
Congratulations to the Melbourne Club, back-to-back City Clubs Circuit Premiers after defeating the Athenaeum Club 5-3 in a close Grand Final at the Melbourne Club. The winning team was Steuart Roe & Warwick Loton (billiards) and Doug Francis & Hugh Gengoult-Smith (snooker) ably captained by Nick Brasch.
Highest breaks for the season were Glynn McConnell (RACV) 96 in billiards, and Paul Bray (Athenaeum) 39 in snooker.
Many thanks to all clubs for great spirit in which the competition was played, and to the VBSA Registrar Mark Dunn for his sterling support throughout the season.
Max Earle Sportsmanship Award
To honour the late Max Earle, a stalwart of the VBSA City Clubs Circuit since its inception in 1990 for the Naval & Military Club and the RACV Warriors, the team captains have voted to institute a Sportsmanship Award bearing his name. At the conclusion of every match, each captain will nominate on the scoresheet a player from the opposing team who best displays the principles of sportsmanship and fair play. The tied winners for 2022 were John Isaac (Australian) and David Pitt (RACV).
