Gosford played their final match of Pennants yesterday with B and C grade playing against Kooindah at Mangrove Mountain. A Grade was due to play their game last week but Kooindah could not field a team.
B grade had another strong win 2 ½ to ½ . Even though Everglades has two matches to play they are unable to catch Gosford and we will win the Pennant for the second year in a row. Well done to Bill and the boys and we look forward to a three-peat.
C grade also had a strong win 2 to 1. They will finish 2nd this year to a strong Mangrove Mountain team. C grade were consistent all year and could have finished a bit closer with a bit more luck.
A Grade also had a very good year and will finish third to strong Toukley and Shelly Beach teams. This is a very good result for our team and I believe that they will be a force to contend with next year.
Our Juniors have also done us proud and will complete their matches shortly and Richard Brien will provide us with a summary of their year.
Our strong results have left us well in front to win the Sterland Shield. Everglades has two matches in hand but need to win all three grades in both matches to tie. This a fantastic result for Gosford.
Thanks to all those that have played this year and also to the club and Pro shop staff for their assistance. Thanks to Graham Chee who has assisted throughout the year and to Richard who does a great job with the juniors.
