Mens Pennants Results from the Weekend.

Reports from Chris Leckey, Don Thompson, and Larry Kent, team Captains.

The second weekend of Mens Pennants witnessed three of our teams in action.

All teams performed well but results did not go our way.

The B Pennant team were playing the defending champions Kiama at Port Kembla. Of the 5 matches 3 were halved, one was lost and one was won. This gave an overall result of 2.5 games each.

Tied matches were recorded by Dan Adams, Lee Hayward and Anthony Smith. Joel MacIntosh playing his first match for Jamberoo was successful 3/2 and Chris Leckey, playing against an opponent in great form, went down in his match.

As you can see the standard of the match was extremely high against two competitive teams … Kiama were obviously boosted by two ex-Jamberoo B Pennant players in their ranks.

The White Horse Cup Section 4 team played against a very strong Links Shell Cove team at Russell Vale. In a very close tussle The Links were successful 4 matches to 3. Both teams were bamboozled by the Russell Vale greens but the Links team did just enough to claim victory on the last hole of match 7.

Peter Hackett, Matthew Ross, and Warren Joannou were succesful in their matches, while Renato Franciskovic, Pat Paris, Leon Polestico and Robert Maclean were pipped at the post.

The C Pennant team had the difficult task of playing Moss Vale at their home track and were defeated 4.5 to 0.5. Les Skarratts, playing his first match for Jamberoo, drew his match against the Moss Vale number 1 and Glen Bayo made an impressive start to his pennant career going down on the 18th hole in a very close match. Mal Hoy, Wayne Griffiths and Ken Bradley found it hard going against the home course players.

Next weekend’s match will be played at Jamberoo and the team will be looking forward to reverse this result.
