The St Ives Club hosted the annual district Versatility Day on Friday 9th November. The North Shore Womens District colour is purple so the greens were sparkling with splashes of purple everywhere.
Versatility Day is a fun event where teams of 5 players represent each of the clubs in the district. Each team plays triples and pairs. This year, the successful club was Mosman. Lindfield Rollers were the runners up. Congratulations to all organisers and players for a most successful day.

The Womens Fours Championship starts next Tuesday 13th November.As always please contact the selectors asap if you have issues with availability.
The Zone 9 Midweek Challenge for 2018 will be remembered for one thing- rain! Once again the heavens opened to put a very literal "dampener" on proceedings. Rain fell pretty well continuously throughout the afternoon. The A, C and D Grade games were all abandoned. In Grade B, where the section was wide open, the players did heroically complete their match. Mosman came away with an excellent away win 104-55 (6 pts to 0).
The loss in Grade B leaves our side bottom of the section now and out of contention with Turramurra and Mosman duelling for top spot. The ladder in Grade C couldn't be any closer and St Ives will have their chance in Round 6 at home to Turramurra. The winner will probably top the section. In Grade D Warrawee are now assured of top spot on the ladder. Gerard Coggans 8 November 2018 Vicki Bartrop and Shizuko Hashimoto played the finals of the Womens Consistency Singles on Saturday. Congratulations go to both ladies for an excellent game. Well done Vicki for successfully defending her title with a final score of 129 to 71.
Please let the selectors know asap if you have any issues with availability.
It was Round 4 out of 6 in the Zone 9 Midweek Challenge. After Wednesday's games the situation in the various grades is becoming clearer and the contenders to win their sections are emerging.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the C Grade side who went to Warrawee and won convincingly 69-57 (6 pts to 0). St Ives is sitting level with Turramurra on top of the ladder with 13 pts. However it is desperately close with all four teams very much in contention. The B Grade side had the closest of close shaves at home, edging North Sydney 74-73 (4 pts to 2). It was a crucial win for St Ives keeping them in the hunt with two rounds to go. St Ives are just one win behind the section leaders Turramurra. It was a disappointing loss at home for the D Grade team, going down 55-42 (5 pts to 1) to Warrawee. St Ives sit second on the ladder but with an 8 point deficit to Warrawee, it's going to be very hard to close the gap. Finally the A Grade side, who went down at home to Belrose (1) 73-43 (5 pts to 1). That result leaves St Ives bottom of the ladder and officially out of the running. Maybe next year!
