Summer Cup underway at Beechworth

A great field of 14 players were out on Sunday, 11 January for the first round of the Summer Cup in smokey conditions. Fantastic to see three juniors out playing. Welcome Riley Lappin for his first competition hit and Nathan Phillpotts for his first Sunday comp. It was all the juniors up the top. After just getting their handicaps, they will certainly take a hit and be lower next week. The winner today was Ollie Read (27) with 42 points. Runner up was Alastair Merritt (29) 39 points. Ball winners on 38 points were Jamie Donly (10) and Andy Croome (12). Jamie has now hit single figures for the first time. Next to follow were Peter Smith (20) 37, Nathan Phillpotts (17) 37, Zane Howard (2) 37, Phil Pelgrim (16) 37 and George Ward (20) 37. A lot of handicaps went down with these scores. Nearest the pins went to Andy Croome on the 3rd and 10th and Zane Howard was the closest on the 17th. Last Sunday was the second round of the Summer Cup. Eleven players fought it out with Andrew Field (2) taking the win with 35 points on a countback from Dave Clark (13) 35. Ball winners were, Alastair Merritt (26) 34, Daryl Rowe (18) 34 and Zane Howard (20) 34. Nearest the pins went to Andrew Field on the 5th, Jacko Wells on the 10th and Rod Shaw on the 17th. The third and fourth rounds of the Summer Cup will take place on 8 and 15 February. On Thursday night we had a fairly good turn up of 19 players for Twilight on the back 9.
