2026 NSW GC Open Singles

Published Tue 05 May 2026
Congratulations to Levi Franks, winner of the 2026 NSW GC Open Singles.
 
This event was held at Mackey Park, Tempe, 01-04 May 2026. 
From a field of 33 entrants, initial block play was held at both Mackey Park Tempe and Royal Sydney CC. The top four players of each went into the X Knockout, with remaining players taking up the Plate rounds. The final Bo3 match was set between Darren McLoughlin (Wagga Wagga CC, NSW) and Levi Franks (Cashmere CC, NZ). The players had to content with some heavy rainfall during their games. Hoops scored ran neck-and-neck in the 1st game, and in the 2nd game, Darren managed to level Levi's 4-0 lead by hoop 8. However, Levi's strong play saw him win the match in two games, 7-4, 7-4, and to win the championship.
 
Thank you to David Stanton (TM), Roberta Flint and the team of referees. 
Thanks also to Cooks River CC for hosting the tournament.
