The NDGA and LNCDGA Representative Teams met for their annual match at Horizons GC on Sunday October 11.
The weather was perfect and Horizons GC are to be commended on the course presentation.
Despite having many players unavailable due to other commitments, Newcastle DGA demonstrated the depth of talent available to them by fielding a team that
easily accounted for the Lower North Coast by a 9 to 3 margin.
The Juniors performed very creditably, winning their Division by the margin of 5 to 1 – thus retaining the Challenge Cup. In an ironic twist, the
only Junior match won by the Lower North Coast was by Belmont’s Rhys Ballinger, who the LNC borrowed when one of their Juniors was unable to attend.
Some might claim that as a clean sweep.
The Seniors, led by Team Captain, Tim O’Reilly, won several close matches to win their Division by 4 to 2. Kane Burt struck a bit of form, having
4 under par the first nine and accounted for Lower North Coast’s Captain, David Bagust by 7 & 6.
Both teams are to be congratulated on the friendly spirit and the sportsmanship displayed in each of the matches.
