Round 1 vs Kareela @ Cronulla
The Ladies Bronze 1 Pennant team is made up of players whose handicaps are from GA 18.0 to 31.0.
The season runs over 7 weeks, commencing on 21 February with the last game being held on 11 April.
Our first match last Friday saw the girls venture to Cronulla to play against Kareela.
The team arrived at Cronulla with the sun shining, only for the weather to turn towards the end of the rounds, getting worse thereafter.
In position one was Cathy Balafoutis (Field Captain/queen/guru). Cathy came out with all guns blazing and managed to hold onto her game winning 2&1.
Position 2, saw one of our newer members, Karen Hand, representing The Coast against a very strong opponent. She fought well to stay in the game but unfortunately went down 4&3.
Cathy McDonald had some relief from Garysitting duties playing in position 3 for this week. She meant business this week and was able to close out her match 2&1 – just before the heavens opened.
A newby to the team is Marisa Duggan who played in position 4. With fighting grit, Marisa was determined to get her monies worth taking her match all the way. Unfortunately, she couldn’t quite close it out going down at the 18th.
Shona Choy was our number 5 this week. Being the demon she is, Shona saw the rain approaching and decided it was best to close her match out nice and early, taking a 6&5 win, preferring to opt for the shelter of the clubhouse.
So the girls wrapped up a week one win 3/2 – a great start to the season.
This Friday, we wish the girls the best of luck as they head to Beverley Park to play against Hurstville.
