Dunheved Golf Club has prevailed over Penrith in the Local Derby of the Golf NSW Division Three Metropolitan Major Pennant.
Craig Williams and Dean Neill led the way with solid wins of 4&3 and 3&2 respectively for Dunheved. Chris Mc Millan won 2&1, while playing in the number one position, Cain Fitzsimmons sealed the result with a one-up win over Penrith’s Dale Hughes.
“It's an incredibly good result. We’re back in Division Two. That’s important,” Team Manager Ken Mudge said.
In June last year, the St Mary’s club was flooded under about two metres of water. After a lot of effort from members with the clean-up, the club was able to get back on its feet and in business once more.
Victory in the Pennant Final underlines the club spirit according to Mudge.
“It’s a tremendous feeling. Last year we were out of action for nearly a month. This win will bring everyone's spirits up, and hopefully, kick on into the Masters Pennant,” Mudge said.
