The club has 6 teams entered in the 2009 Spring Pennant Competition. The teams are in Divisions 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
So far all the teams are holding their own and are performing pretty well in their respective competitions. Their performances so far indicate that most will make it to the finals if they continue their present form.
Our Division 5 team captained by Andrew Clarke is doing very well and at the present time are leading their comp on 87 points.
David Armstrong’s Division 6 team have had a slow start and at the present time are coming 5th.
Paul Wright’s Division 9 team have had a very good start also, and at the present time are coming 3rd in a very closely matched competition. This team has been re-formed from a mix of players from last comps Division 6 and 7 teams and contains some of the “old men” of the club. The team consists of Paul Wright, Paul Coggiola, Brian Pisani, Chewy Lim and Mark Ireland. The many years of experience contained in this team could prove be very useful at finals time!
Division 10 captained be Frank Duong are coming 2nd. This team has had a few setbacks in that Tan Bui has had to withdraw due to an achilles tendon injury and Adrian Chen was unable to compete this comp, which really weakened their team. However, Sana Viengkhou , Emmanuel Calligeris and Frank Duong have all been performing well under the circumstances and deserve credit for still remaining competitive.
Jason Kwok’s Division 11 team are also doing well and at the present time are coming 2nd and within striking distance of the leaders Bulldogs 8.
Our Division 12 team led by George Keir are also doing well and at present are coming 3rd.
The club Round Robin Competition is now being played on the last Sunday afternoon of every second month. Our first one for the year was held in April, with Chewy Lim winning from Doug MacFarlane and Daryl Curtis. June’s Round Robin was won by Mursil from Andrew Clarke and Joe Dundovic. While August was won by Joe Dundovic from Daryl Curtis and Doug MacFarlane.
At the present time Daryl Curtis leads on 11.5 points from Doug MacFarlane on 11 points, Sana Viengkhou on 10 points and Andrew Clarke on 8.5 points.
