Gateball Australia has recently announced that the 2023 Australian Gateball Championships will be held in the regional Victorian city of Wodonga. The tournament will be hosted by the Wodonga Croquet Club, located at the Wodonga Tennis Centre.
Originally, Twin City Croquet Club in Albury, NSW was chosen to welcome the country’s Gateball players from the 7th to 10th of September. However, due to the expressed interest of several international teams in attending the event, it was decided to move to the larger facilities at Wodonga. Moreover, part of the NSW Gateball Championships were already held at Wodonga in September of 2022, making it a familiar venue for Gateball players.
Gateball Australia expressed gratitude towards the Wodonga Tennis Centre for its support, as well as towards the Wodonga Croquet Club for its willingness to take on the hosting of this event. This year, the Australian Gateball Championships have been extended to a four-day tournament, and will deliver both a Doubles and a Team event.
The last Australian Gateball Championships were held at the Gold Coast in April of 2021, but were delayed by several months due to COVID restrictions. Despite this setback, the event still managed to attract Australian teams from four different states. This year, the opportunity to welcome back international teams after a break of several years is an exciting prospect for local Gateball players.
