In preparation for their participation in the Bermuda Bowl and the d’Orsi Seniors Trophy in Bali in September the Australian Open team is practising against the Australian Seniors team this evening, Sunday night at 7.30pm AEST on BBO.
It is not usual for events to be named after players who are still competing at the top level. The Victor Champion Cup (which began in 1953 as a round robin of all teams eliminated before the finals of the Open and Women’s Interstate Teams) was an exception.
