World Tambourelli Championships 2016
Tambourelli
reaches new heights in Germany
Tambourelli players
represent Scotland in Germany for World Championships
Tambourelli is a bat and shuttle game re invented in Newton
Stewart in the 1970s. Players have taken this game to various spots across the
world. Newton Stewart Club is a place to play a sport and enter friendly Championships in Europe or
further a field. The Merrick Tambourelli Club at Newton Stewart will restart
after the summer break at the Merrick Leisure Centre, 2-4pm on Sunday 9th
October.
The Club is partly run by Chloe Bruce who travelled from
Newton Stewart to the small, friendly, beautiful city of Dresden, Germany to
the World Tambourelli Championships 2016. Chloe went with her son Bazil who
played in Newton Stewart for many years. Bazil has held the Men’s Singles title
3 times, last winning in 2014. He also wanted to defend his title as Doubles
Champion with Tal Appleton Wickens.
Chloe Bruce entered the new Over 40s Women’s Singles; Women’s Doubles
and Mixed Doubles with Bazil.
Dresden Tambourello Club hosted the event. They are taking
Tambourelli to a new level. Their club has 70 members with many playing Tambourelli
every week. The neighbouring club, Kleinnaundoft, bought 15 children to the World Under 16s
Competition in London, November 2015.
Last year a group of
Dresden players came to Newton Stewart for 2015 Championships. Sebastian and
Gabrielle Rose and Marcus Zink all reached the Singles finals. In January 2017
Hamburg is hosting a World drop in event to further promote the playing of
Tambourelli.
This year’s Championships was located in a huge, well
equipped sports hall with almost enough air conditioning to deal with the heat
(33 degrees). The delicious home baked food for sale helped to fuel the
players. Sponsors from local companies supported the event.
Games were played over 2 days between 100 entrants of all
ages on the 16 courts available. The quality of play was outstanding in all
categories.
Bazil Hughes reached
the finals in all 3 classes he could enter, but the Championship prize narrowly
escaped him in all of the finals games with the Men’s singles prize slipping
between his fingers by 1 point to be won for the first time by Marcus Zink as
the shuttle landed perfectly on the line.
Plans were laid for the 2017 Championships to be hosted by
Devon Tambourelli Association.
