Recently I was provided the programme of events book from the 37th (2016) Australian Championships which includes some great history and really highlights just how successful WA has been over the years so I thought it might be nice to pull out some old data and summarise some past WA results for you.

This category includes various events and of course, the most notable achievement is Tony David taking out the 2002 World Championship.
