At El Valle Golf Resort – 5th March 2010

With this the final “A” Division matches of the season, there were still items to be settled, but not for who was going to be the Champions, this had already been secured by Katie Reilly.

But KR and captain Peter Deaves wanted to go with their tails held high as they took on La Manga North and equally the La manga team wanted a good result to edge  away from the relegation zone.

Well it was a close fought match and the result was a two all draw and the bonus pts going to Katie Reilly to cement their leadership, the best scores were from KR team members Rob Neil and Paul Rooney with 34 and 33 pts respectively. 

This result for La Manga North certainly helped their cause but they need a good result from San Miguel against Club 25 to make sure they were not in danger of the drop.

And this is what San Miguel did with a 4 to Nil win over Club 25 and plunged them to last but one place. San Miguel was the days highest scoring team with some solid scoring only one player with less than 25 pts Nigel Goude their highest scorer with 33 and Joe dean with a healthy 30 pts. Club 25 best scores came from Tim Newstead 33 point and Margaret Morgan 30 pts. Captain Barry Roehrig could go off to Tenerife holiday that night a happy man.

La Manga South took on a depleted san Javier team who had two players pull out because of injury and another who was injured early in the round, with nothing really at stake this was a low scoring match and La manga came out as winners.

The results of the matches:

La Manga S G S 3    (195 pts)     vs. San Javier G S          1   (112 pts)
San Miguel G S  4    (220 pts)     vs. Club 25 G S          0   (205 pts)
La Manga N G S 2    (209 pts)     vs. Katie Reilly G S       2   (218 pts)

The 3 bonus pts went to La Manga S G S, San Miguel G S, and Katie Reilly G S.

From the scoring it would appear that the Jack Nicklaus course of El Valle got the better of the majority players with only 4 of the 46 scoring in excess of 30 pts.
 
The fat lady has started to sing and with the Champions being Katie Reilly Golf Society, by a healthy 10 pts over runners up San Miguel.

Congratulations to Katie Reilly Golf Society and Captain Peter Deaves and his successful team.

There is a special Champions Tournament for the League teams at El Plantio in April.
