NSW Legends Keen to Retain Trophy

 

The 2019 annual Greenkeepers vs Legends game was held on Monday 5 August, 2019 at Cabramatta Bowling Club. The NSW Legends were eager to retain the trophy after winning last year at Engadine.

The NSW Legends had a few debutants, Matt Baus, Dale Maitland, Ross Maguire, Gary Adnum with late (but much appreciated) replacements Mark Robinson and Beau Prideaux.
Sam Clough OAM was the captain of the Legends with Mick Woods leading the Greenkeepers.

Prior to the game the announcement of the Greenkeeper of the Year was made, the winner Graeme Brown from Yamba.

The rinks had been drawn, the weather was fantastic, the green was superb running about 17 seconds and the battle began between both sides.  

The Greenkeepers took an early lead via two of their rinks skipped by Daniel Farrell and Adam Troth.  As the game progressed, the NSW Legends clawed their way back to take a narrow lead.  The rinks of Matt Baus and Jason Stokes started to dominate and were assisted by the Chris Green and Terry McCabe rinks.  As the game went into its final ends it was evident that the NSW Legends would win, with the final score being 129 to 103.

There were many smiling faces at the after-game presentation where Sam Clough OAM accepted the trophy from Mick Woods, followed by a few beers, a few stories about yesteryear and some exaggerations on some of the shots that had been played just to spice things up for next year’s game.
A thank you to General Manager, Jay Porter and Cabramatta for hosting a wonderful day.
