The traditional curtain-raiser ahead of the Cystadleuaeth Minigolff Cymraeg (Welsh Minigolf Tournament) is a side-tournament in A.N. Other Sport or Game. Last year we played a Darts tournament, and in 2009 we played Boules.
However, this year the side-event took place after the main-event at the 2011 Cwmbran Table Tennis Classic.
In the final match Seve Kukielka defeated (destroyed) me, 21-3 in a not close at all Final. In doing so Seve became a two-time Side-Tournament Champion, having won the 2009 Boules Tournament in Swansea (Abertawe), where he also beat me in the final.
Jas beat Cindy in the third/fourth place play-off match.
The tournament saw each of the six players drawn into two groups, with each player playing each other once, with the winner from Group A taking on Group B's runner-up and vice versa.
The group matches were played to 11 points, with the semi-finals and final played to 21.
In Group A:
Richard lost to Cindy 11-8
Cindy beat Emily 11-6
Emily lost to Richard 11-5
Group A Winner - Cindy
Group A Runner-up - Richard
In Group B:
Seve lost to Jas 11-4
Jas beat Leo 13-11
Leo lost to Seve 11-6
Group B Winner - Jas
Group B Runner-up - Seve
Semi-Finals
Cindy lost to Seve 21-14
Jas lost to Richard 21-18
3rd/4th Play-Off
Jas beat Cindy 11-6
Final
Seve beat Richard 21-3
