The Jamberoo C Pennant team lead their division after a win over Worrigee on Sunday whilst the B Pennant team will need to pull out all stops against competition leaders Port Kembla next week after a draw with St Georges Basin.
The White Horse Cup team had a bye and will meet Bowral on Sunday at Port Kembla.
Reports below:
B Pennant
(Report from Tom Perrson)
Our B Pennant team had 3 ½ – 3 ½ drawn match with St Georges Basin at Wollongong on Sunday 27 February.
This was a disappointing result as a win would have kept us within one point of Port Kembla with one round to go.
We will now have to defeat Port Kembla by 5 matches to two at St Georges Basin on 13 March to make the final. We can do it!
Individual results were: Winners – Jaryd Byers 3/2, Adrian Bell 2/1, Matt Bell 4/3. Ken Bradley halved his match and losers were Tom Persson 2/1, Jarryd Buckley 3/2 and Tim Young 5/3.
Congratulations again to all the Team.
Next match is against Port Kembla at St Georges Basin on 13 March.

C Pennant Report Round 3 at St Georges Basin 27/2/2011
An excellent day’s golf on the picturesque St George’s Basin course resulted in Jamberoo defeating Worrigee 5 ½ matches to 2 ½ to take the lead in the division.
Excellent wins were recorded by Scott Hainsworth 5/3, Ken Baker 4/2, Warwick Miller 3/1, Tom Zimmerman 1 up, and Paul Hemmings 2/1.
Ray Orr managed to square his match and Warren Joannou was not able to repeat his success at number 1 losing 4/2.
Scotty played a great follow up game after last week’s heroics to always have his opponents measure and win comfortably on the 15th.
KB returned to the winner’s list with a strong performance despite his opponent holing several good putts during the round.
Pup played the game of the day being only 7 over to win on the 17th green. An excellent performance to follow up last week’s victory. Warwick’s opponent was pugnacious and refused to give up but some quality play at the right moment saw the pup’s tail wagging!
The cougar was pushed all the way by his big hitting opponent and managed to defuse his opponent’s charge on the 18th green. This was another quality match and certainly brought out the best in Tom who had to dig deep to record the victory. The growl of victory was awesome.
The big-hitting Timbers seemed to be trailing all day but found that little extra to record an excellent win on the 17th green. Paul was able to drill a couple of drives straight down the centre when the pressure was on for which his opponent could not respond.
Flash was left regretting several missed chances to win his match. Personally I believe he was still shaking from the trip down to Sanctuary Point in my car. Several times he broke out into a cold sweat as we passed “safety cameras” and he was clearly upset by the dead kangaroo that I managed not to avoid. Despite this Ray played a good game and did almost enough to win.
The bottler, Warren Joannou, tried hard but could just not find the form he was looking for consistently enough and fell to a chip in just as he was making a surge.
Thanks also to The Hat, Lefty and Billy for your support on the day.
We look forward to next week’s game against St George’s Basin at Kiama expecting another hard encounter.
Until then, yours in golf, Dave Ransom.
