What a week it’s been!

After a very strong season, Division 1 and Division 2 played their respective finals on Thursday at Rosebud on the North Course.

Division 1 played against Flinders who had beaten Sorrento in the last round at The National, while Division 2 played Portsea who had beaten Sorrento in the first round at Devilbend.

The day was very windy with a brief down pour and both teams had their work cut out for them. By the end of the day, what Division 1 didn’t realise was that Division 2 had beaten Portsea to win their flag, an unbelievable result with a 5/2 win, led by Lou England as Team Captain.

Now Division 1 hunkered down with a wonderful early win by Pia Perkins which set the scene for the rest of us to follow suit.

A trifecta for Division 1 and a well deserved win for our wonderful team winning 5/2, led by Team Captain Sue Semmens.

A special mention to Alison Mighell and Andrea Burne who remained undefeated throughout the season.

We would like to thank everyone involved in our teams and also to our wonderful caddies who look after us so well.

We all had a wonderful celebration dinner on Friday night with a Hawaiian theme where Chrissy Skinner wowed us all by arriving in a wet suit and carrying a surf board to the whoops and cheers of us all.

As Women’s Captain I am truly grateful for such a wonderful group of women who all work together as team mates but more importantly, great friends.

I wish both teams all the very best for the 2027 season next year – let’s see if we can do it again.
