On The Greens At Goosies

With two pennants matches played our division two team is leading the field along with City on 11 points. In our first game at home on Saturday our three teams all had wins against Seaforth to get 6 points. On Sunday we played Marian at Marian where two teams had wins, and the highest score overall to get 5 points.

Our other two teams in third and fourth division did not do as well, with division three sitting on 4 points and fourth division on 2. It’s very early days though.

Many thanks to Margaret Armitage for making and supplying new corner flags on our two greens. Margaret has been supplying these for many years and put up new flags last week.
