The Finals of the 2017 B & C Grade Pennants were played at Toronto CC on Sunday November 12.
Toronto CC was in great condition and the weather was perfect for golf – perhaps the best day we have had during this year’s series.

Barry Elliott anchored the Nelson Bay victory

As expected, the final of B Grade was a much closer affair.
With Newcastle leading 3 to 2 – the result hinged on the No.1 match between Nelson Bay’s Leigh Messner and Newcastle’s John Theaker. Leigh Messner
then won the 18th hole – and clinched the 3rd point for Nelson Bay when he won the 19th hole. The teams tied on 3 games each.
The sudden death playoff was then conducted between Leigh Messner from Nelson Bay and Chris Wratten from Newcastle – with Leigh Messner winning the 1st
playoff hole with a boey 5 to the 6 recorded by Chris Wratten.
Nelson Bay completed the clean sheet – winning both B and C Grade Pennants
