3 Gold Pennant Finals
Pennant Finals pit the 4 best teams from across Perth against each other to play for “THE FLAG”. A great 8 – 0 victory in the last home and away game saw Joondalup steal top spot from Rockingham and gain home ground advantage. Despite missing 4-5 players for various reasons, we were able to field a competitive side.
The morning game saw Joondalup against Midland-Morrison which we ended up winning comfortably on the back of a great performance from Jeff Clarke’s rink including Shane Nelligan and Glen and Kim Oakley. The only rink lost was to ex Joondalup Steve Kilford. In the other game, Perth & Tatts were way too strong for Rockingham.
And so to the final which was played in great spirit by both sides. After 3 ends, we were 12 down. After 10 ends we were 6 down. From this point, Jeff’s rink produced a 21 to 3 turn around to win handsomely, Chris Street, Dave Webber, Doug Peck and Mike Wyndham scored 10 to 7 to win by 7, Scotty Baldock, Richard Wyatt, Andrew Groves and Chris Lewis went 13-11 to tie. Our only loss was Greg Barry’s rink of Harry Teeuwissen, John Wills and Geoff Stevenson who kept things tight to lose by 3. A brilliant performance by all concerned. The only 2 losses we had were to ex Joondalup players who used their experience on our greens to good advantage.
With much whooping and hollering, Chris Leggett presented the squad with the flag, (duly hoisted up the flagpole) and winners’ badges. A huge thank you to Dot Leslie who prepared pre game snacks, Chris and Ben Leggett for rolling the greens and Eugene Dardengo for setting up the equipment. Also to Craig Dowsett for preparing such a fantastic surface on which to bowl. The biggest thanks must go to our supporters whose enthusiastic cheering, clapping and encouragement meant so much to the players. It created a wonderful atmosphere and must have been very daunting for our opposition…long may it be so!!!
Now we just have to pacify the neighbours.
A great day and result for the club.
