The good news is that the White Horse Cup ‘Cowpats’ have progressed to the semi-finals next weekend at Port Kembla. With a bye today the wet did not affect the standings in their division. It was very close with 3 teams finishing on 6 points with 2 wins, 2 wash outs and 1 loss each but a superior for and against allowing them to progress.
With Wollongong Golf Club being closed after the heavy rain on Saturday two of our teams were denied the opportunity to compete and perhaps gain a semi-final birth.
Well played to the C Pennant and White Horse Cup Magpies who both finished just outside the cut-off.
Moss Vale Golf Club was open and the B Pennant team had a chance to qualify with a good win. Unfortunately in a heartbreaking story we lost 3 matches to 2 and finished 3rd in the division with only the top two progressing.
Captain Ryan Dorahy reports,
Brad Douglas lost on the 17th hole
Daniel Hamilton lost 4&3
Ryan lost 2&1
Lee Haywood won 2&1
Dylan McDonald won 4/3.
It was a good season and our first attempt at the B Pennant. A highlight was the defeat of the top Links Shell Cove team featuring a big win by Katie Dorahy.
All 8 players represented the club with passion and pride and will come back better next year.
