We commenced all matches quite well and despite having two games in the bag Jeff Russell 7/5 and Branton Delaney 8/6 our number 1 & 2 players and our other games well ahead the game was abandoned due to lightning in the area .

The team managers were in constant discussions with after viewing the radar screen and seeing more lightning it was agreed to abandon the days play.

Round 9 – At Kew VS Heritage (6/3 WIN)

Round nine and the final game of the season  was played at Kew vs Heritage.

The course was presented in wonderful  condition but the greens were unfortunately very slow with the players from both teams struggling to cope.

Rosanna undefeated on top of the ladder playing second place Heritage and our opponents in the finals. Although we couldn’t miss participating in the finals we considered this match to be extremely important as a comfortable win would afford a psychological advantage over our opponents.

The match at the halfway mark was extremely close but the squad pulled out all stops to achieve a comfortable 6/3 win.

The winners were Ange Dinardo 6/3 Greg Russell4/3 Steve Dundon 1up Geoff Dickson 1up Mark Minarelli 1up Jeff Russell half, four ball Craig Gowling Justin Burgoine half.
