For the second week in a row damp and windy conditions greeted the players but once again the hosts claimed the limelight.
This time Bottle Lake delivered an upset, getting the better of Russley 5-3.

Coupled with half points from Kieran Sharvin and Jason Campbell (whose 100th game was celebrated to a big home ovation), they left Russley in an unfamiliar spot early in the season.

Woodward Cup got underway today in damp and windy conditions at Coringa Country Club.
The story of the day would have to go to the hosts Coringa who upset Harewood 5-3. Matt McLean took down Nic Kay at the top in a good tussle, but Coringa’s middle order was too strong with wins at 2 through to 6, including a good win to Grant Mercer 6/5 over Matt O’Carroll in the number two spot. Harewood took the wins at 7 and 8, but in the end the hosts prevailed and will look to carry this momentum forward.
Russley and Pegasus could hardly...

On a superb winter's day on an equally good Bottle Lake golf course the 2018 Riccarton Park Golf Complex 4BBB Championship was held today.
