“Clash of the Pickles” Results

Every second Wednesday morning we run an internal “Clash of the Pickles” pickleball competition at Dee Why. Win or lose, everyone enjoys the competitive yet friendly spirit. A number of our members have in the past played high level competitive squash, tennis, table tennis, badminton etc. and have been itching to apply their competitiveness to pickleball. Our first “Clash of the Pickles” competition was held on 9 September 2020. The weekly team scores can be found here.

Once COVID-19 settles down, we are hoping to organise competitions from time to time against other Sydney clubs. Our fortnightly “Clash of the Pickles” event will prepare our players for such inter club competitions. At some stage we would like to invite one of the Queensland clubs to Sydney for a friendly competition with our club. Such an event would be held over a weekend.

At the end of the year, the person with the best points average will win a prize! To be in the running, you must have participated at least 3 times.
