Barry Toates Trophy - Sat. 20 September

Thank you to the team for making the trip up to Sydney, combing the Jesters match on Friday 20 September and the Barry Toates Trophy on Saturday 20 September 2025.

After a convincing 5-2 victory by Sydney over the Jesters Club, a refreshed RMTC team comprising Prue and Rob McCahey, John Oswald-Jacobs, Roger Wood, Jonathan Hamer, Katie and Jonathan Buckley leapt out of the blocks to have a 6-1 lead by lunchtime on Saturday. This included two tight victories by spousal combinations, and overcoming a man down from friendly fire.

Sydney introduced some new faces as the tourists enjoyed the delights of Cheltenham’s Molly’s café, knowing that one more match would retain the trophy for RMTC in the best of 12 format. As the visitors tired, SRTC reeled off four straight victories, leaving the final match as the decider, with Sydney leading on games if the matches were squared at six all.

In a swinging match, Alex Rackham and Chris Cooper moved to a 6-4 lead, before Jonathan Hamer and Jonathan Buckley withstood a few more of Alex’s forces and won the match 8-6, giving RMTC and 7-5 win over SRTC.
