Major Pennant Report – Round 1 V Camden
What a fantastic way to start the 2025 season – perfect weather with the course looking great.
This year we welcomed two new faces with debutants Peter Takla and Liam Sherry joining the team.
Despite the expected nerves hitting off the second tee as our first hole (the danger of the dam down the right in the back of everyone’s’ minds) all players managed to get off the tee safely.
With plenty of great golf being played on the front nine, Cumberland was leading in all seven matches at the turn.
The display of great golf continued well into the back nine, and it showed with early results going Cumberland’s way. Peter Takla (on debut) had a commanding 7&5 victory, followed by Hayden Smith winning 5&4, Sean Moylan winning 4&3, and Bailey Leafe winning 3&2. Josh Madeleine was forced to play all 18 holes, but an impressive birdie on the last hole secured a 2up win. With the overall match in the bag, we knew we still needed as many individual wins as possible; Isaak Pemble finished strong with a 3&1 win.
The final result: Cumberland 6 defeated Camden 1
A big thank you to Martin Smith for filling in at reserve, and for putting up a majestic performance after being down three holes on the front nine but ultimately squaring his match.
The team would like to sincerely thank all the family, friends and members that took the time to come out and show their support; it is very much appreciated.
Our next game is against Camden on Sunday 9 February at Camden (Studley Park) with tee off at 11:30am. As usual, your support would be hugely appreciated, so please come out to cheer on your team!
