Eric Apperly Shield

Cumberland played their first game of the Eric Apperly Shield competition yesterday against NSW at St Michaels golf course. The boys were only just defeated 3 1/2 – 2 1/2 with wins to Josh Madeleine and Stevan Babic, and a good half to Blade Hili who came into the team at late notice.

 

Individual results were:

Isaak Pemble lost 5/4

Arthur Barakat lost 1 down

Jarred Madeleine lost 4/3

Josh Madeleine won 2 up

Stevan Babic won 7/5

Blade Hili halved

 

A little luck in the 1 down and halved matches would have produced a different result for the boys, but that is golf.

 

Next Sunday the team plays against Monash at The Australian golf club with a 7:30am hitoff. Any Cumberland Members going to The Australian to support the team will need to ensure that they comply with the strict dress regulations.
