Inter Club Update...............

This week the Blank Cup competition restarts with our team drawn to play Russley at Russley not perhaps the easiest of starts but we wish Paul Dunn and the rest of the team all the best!!

Simon is scheduled to play Waitkiri at Shirley looking to build on their earlier successes. With Waitikiri situated below them on the table this is a good chance for our young team to establish some superiority and gain a valuable 2 points. Anthony has set the boys some clear goals as the season moves to a conclusion and a victory here will set the stage for the final two rounds.

Woodward cup kicked off on Sunday and it was perhaps a less than auspicious start by the team. In the morning round against Windsor we emerged with a half - 3 games each. Good wins were recorded by Tom Turner and Andrew Caldwell while Liam Cumberpatch held his nerve to beat Ben McMillan 2 up having to play the full 18.

In the afternoon we played last year's winners Russley in what was expected to be a tight tussle. The final score of 5 -1 to Russley did not accurately reflect the closeness of the match but in the end points on the board count. Making a guest appearance (more may be on the cards) Peter McDougall recorded our only win at two but both Tom Turner & Liam Cumberpatch were unlucky to lose 1 down to birdies on the last while Andrew Caldwell put up a stout defence before succumbing 3&1.

With the relatively short nature of the competition the team will look to turn matters around with next scheduled stop being Shirley on the 12 September. unfortunately we have drawn the bye in the morning and early leaders Kaiapoi in the afternoon so it will be a tough day at the office.

September sees the playing of the Junior Teams Foursomes where we have entered two teams of 4. This Sunday we travel to Weedons for Candian Foursomes, followed the next week by Foursomes at Kaiapoi. In October American Foursomes are held at Russley before finishing at Greendale with a 4 ball better ball. All the matches are based on stableford scoring so we are anticipating some good results!! Reports will of course be posted.
