Major Pennant Report – Round 1 vs Antill Park
What a brilliant way to launch the 2026 Major Pennant season. The sun was out, the course was in excellent condition, and the team arrived ready to go.
This year we were delighted to welcome two debutants, Jordan Ross and Duncan Bowen, who both slotted seamlessly into the lineup. Despite the usual first tee nerves, every player found the fairway safely and settled into their rounds.
The opening nine was tightly contested, with Cumberland holding a slight edge over Antill Park at the turn. From there, Cumberland produced an impressive display of composed, high quality golf to swing several matches in our favour coming home.
Duncan Bowen, in his first Major Pennant appearance, was the first to put a point on the board with a commanding 7&5 victory. He was soon joined by Hayden Smith with a solid 2 up win, debutant Jordan Ross with a confident 5&4 result, and Isaak Pemble, who sealed the overall team victory with a strong 4&2 performance.
In the reserve match, Josh Madeleine produced a well earned 3&2 win.
Final Result: Cumberland 4 defeated Antill Park 3
