Division 2 saw the undefeated Belmont outfit pitted against the strong Muree team. A close result was forecast.
At the completion of the 8 matches, the teams were locked together on 4 all. Belmont then selected No.2 player in Shaun O’Malley and Muree selected
No.4 player in Steve Hassett to play a sudden death play-off. This play-off lasted only 1 hole with Belmont being victorious and winning the
Division 2 Pennant.

The Belmont team contained a family connection – with Father, Mark Ellison, playing No.1 and son, Hamish Ellison, playing No.8. Good judges
expect those playing positions to be reversed in coming years.
