The Gents A,B & C Grade Matchplay Finals were completed on Sunday 23rd of May.
Contesting the A Grade Final this year was current Club Champion Jared Mann, facing off against last years Matchplay Champion, Scott Draper. With the match all square after 9 holes, any early inroads on the back nine would prove crucial. Scott was able to do this by winning the 10th, 11th and 13th holes, despite winning the 14th hole Jared was unable to recover and when Scott won the 16th hole victory was assured with Scott taking the match 3 & 2.
In the B Grade Final we saw number 8 seed Kerry Dobinson up against number 2 seed Chris McNamara. This match was a tight tussle throughout with Chris knocking in a 3 foot putt on the 18th to secure a 1up victory.
The C Grade Final was another close affair with C Grade stroke play winner Jason Moss looking to complete the double against 11 seed Michael Skinner. Despite qualifying at 11 Michael was able to push Jason all the way, with Jason eventually coming away with a 2up victory.
Congratulations must go to all those who competed, and management would like to acknowledge the flexibility competitors displayed, after the original schedule was required to be modified.
