@BT Sub Sport Gaz:SATURDAY

@BT Sub Sport Gaz:JUNIOR PENNANT
The boys travelled to Settlers Run and went down 4-2. There were some close matches that went to the final hole but some big losses as well.
Corey Porter provided the highlight of the day with a 2 up victory while debutant Dylan-Jack Murphy squared his match on the last hole. Brad O’Brien also squared his match while Sean Henderson, Jamie Asche and Brodie Pintar all went down in their battles.
Even though the team failed to make finals the experience and knowledge that the boys gained from this will hold them in good stead when the West Gippsland Pennant season starts in late January.
