Greetings from Tralee, Ireland 🇮🇪 Finally got some pickleball in at https://www.facebook.com/share/1F8YkQ4wA3/?mibextid=wwXIfr GPC may be getting a few visitors from here in the future. Cheers, Pete and Justine.

The Geelong Mini Cup 2026 numbers:

12 events completed
136 players
407 games played
8,579 points scored
67 games decided by just 2 points
Highest-scoring game: 24-22
Most points scored across the event: Adam Thomas with 373 points

That is a lot of pickleball, a lot of close finishes, and probably a lot of very tired legs.

A huge thank you to the Club Committee, and in particular Wendy, for organising the wonderful prizes.

Thank you also to Lisa, Jenny, Kerry and Leonie for helping run the sessions, to Lee for refereeing.

Wildly big thank you to Patrick for bringing this event to life, making it seamless and interactive.

Lastly, thank you to all of you, the players, for turning up, getting into the spirit of it, and having fun doing what we love: playing pickleball.
