Geraldton Open 2025 – A Smashing Success!

What a weekend! The 2025 Geraldton Open delivered big serves, bigger rallies, and even bigger smiles. While the committee is now running on fumes (and leftover toasted sandwiches), the event was a resounding success—and we’re still buzzing!

A Tournament to Remember

From juniors to veterans, local legends to long-distance travellers, 72 incredible players brought their A-game across multiple divisions. Many juniors even stepped up to compete in both the junior and open events. The spirit of the game was alive and thriving!

Friday night sausage sizzle thanks to Adrian at Dongara IGA!!

Saturday night dinner was a hit with great food, footy on the tv, drinks and fabulous company! Especially loved holding it at the Murchison Tav made life a lot easier.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

A massive thank you to our major sponsor, Southside Mechanical Geraldton—a loyal supporter and club member who’s been with us through thick and thin.
