Kerry was a past President & Captain and dedicated member of our Club who passed away on 16 August 2020 and was awarded Life Membership for his service to the Club.

The Cup was first played for last year and the inaugural event was most fittingly won by another Life Member, Ian Vidler.

It was quite an amazing feat that this year’s winner was once again Ian Vidler with the best overall score of the day of 42 points.

Ian (14) was the winner of Division 1 (scratch to 16) and runner up was Rick Heywood (10) with 41 points.

In Division 2 (17 to 22), Rodney Robertson (17) had 41 points to win from Trevor Peter (17) with 40 points.

Division 3 (23 to 45) was a tightly contested affair with Mary Bysouth (39), Lyall Gregory (27) and Chris Tinson (25) all scoring 41 points, Mary winning the countback.

Other good scores from Paddy Byrne, Chris Brownlie, Colin Dunne, Allan O’Brien and Mark McLaren all with 40 points.

You needed 37 points on countback in the Ball Rundown.
