Masters Pennants Results - Sunday 18th June 2023

 



Craig Ward - our Masters Pennants player



The Masters Pennant was completed on Sunday with our match against Kooindah Waters at Gosford Golf Club. Our boys played well and were in the contest all day but in the end we went down 5 matches to 3.  A win here would have seen us finish second in our division to a very strong Shelly Beach team.

 

I want to thank all our players as they showed good sportsmanship in all our matches and we all had a great time. Special thanks to Craig Ward who stood up in our last two matches when several of our team went off to Queensland for the annual golf trip. Craig was unlucky to be beaten on the last hole by a six marker in his last match.
