It was our turn to host on Sunday and fortunately Mother Nature turned on a spectacular day for us. Our team walked away with a 5/2 win over Green Acres on Sunday March 20. Despite solid wins by Marianne Stoettrup (5&4) and Jo McPhee (5&3), the remaining matches all went to the 17^th hole and beyond. Debutant Gin Dalton acquitted herself very well, but unfortunately succumbed to her opponent 2&1. After both being down early, Mel Evans and Suzanne Velk dug deep to get their matches through to the 18^th hole. Mel took the win 1 up, but unfortunately Suzanne didn’t quite get there finishing 1 down. Mel Daly and Kathy Richards were enjoying their time on the course and took 20 holes to get a result – both taking a win.

Whilst we’re sitting 7^th on the Ladder after 3 rounds, we’re only 3 games behind 4^th place Riversdale who we play next week at Northern. Ladder leaders Sandhurst are the team to beat (they’ve only dropped 2 of the 21 matches played thus far), so already the competition is on between the remaining 7 teams to try and make the final. Having already played Sandhurst and 3^rd placed Woodlands we are in a good position to make a charge for the coveted final. As they say in the classics – watch this space.
