Good to see our Sharks fought hard to secure a draw in round 2. Seems like a close competition, with 2 matches played and no team has 2 wins – best is 2 teams with 1 win and 1 draw. Hopefully we can have a win next week (27/10) and put ourselves in the mix – though we have an away match so Ranfurlie will have home course advantage.
Round 3
Big thanks to Ranfurlie Golf Club for hosting round 3 of Vic Junior Pennant on Sunday.
Our boys worked hard on some very firm greens but eventually lost 4.5/1.5 to the local lads on their home track.
All great experiences for our boys coming up against bigger clubs in the region.
Huge thanks to our senior Country Week members for coming down to support our players and the many mums, dads and other family members who helped make it an enjoyable day
Round 4
Our South Gippsland junior pennant players recorded their breakthrough win yesterday at the challenging Sandhurst Champions layout in Cranbourne, playing against the local lads with some very good swings.
We recorded a 4.5/1.5 win in the matches with junior captain Billie Wrigley unbeaten after four rounds with a 6/5 win against their top player. Other winners were Ayden Walters 2up, Shem Hickey 4/2, little Thomas Simon 3/2 whilst Aaron Saric halved his match, and his brother Lucas lost 3/2.
Brilliant performance by the lads and once again many thanks to hosts Sandhurst Club Golf Members for the use of the course, the parents who made it down and the hospitality shown to our players and families.
Next week the final round will be played at Phillip Island Golf Club where we are hoping to notch another win.
Round 5
Our South Gippsland Sharks junior pennant team finished the season strongly, with a brilliant 3.5/2.5 win against The National team at Phillip Island on Sunday.
A great showing again from our juniors and confirmation we can compete against some big clubs and great young players.
Congrats to every player selected for the Sharks and your efforts every week.
Thanks to all the clubs involved in this exciting event, the parents, siblings, senior players who caddied and South Gippsland Golf for the uniforms, hospitality and support.
Bring on next season for the Sharks!

Round 4 saw the Sharks take on Spring Valley Golf Club at their home course.
The team played well, having 2 wins and 2 matches going down to the wire on the 18th hole, but ultimately fell just short giving Spring Valley a 4-2 win.
3 of our players were giving 20, 22 and 26 shots to their opponents, which would have been a mental challenge to say the least.
