Waitikiri - Presidents Grade Interclub Champions

The Final Round of Presidents Grade Interclub was held at Christchurch Golf Club recently in fine, autumn conditions.

As per usual the day's matches were close, competitive and friendly and nearing the end of the round all eyes were on the Templeton vs Waitikiri match as both Waimairi Beach and Rawhiti who were contenders for the title had won their matches. Last off the course were Templeton and Waitikiri's numbers 1 and 2's with Waitikiri managing to turn around a halfway deficit to win the match 4.5-3.5 and win the competition by 1 point from both Waimairi Baech and Rawhiti.

The contest for the MVP Trophy was also a close affair with Kit Tovio from Rawhiti (pictured left with CGI Executive Member John Thompson) coming out on top with 9 wins and a half from his 12 matches, ahead of both Bill Blair and Mike Kelly from Waitikiri with 8 wins and 2 halves from their 12 matches played.

A full clubroom toasted and roasted the success of the season and look forward to a new era in the Spring.
