Week 2 of the Illawarra Pennants season and all four of our teams were in action. Most of the team members would have probably pulled back the curtains and thought about going back to bed rather than venturing out to play golf on a pretty wet and miserable Sunday morning.
The A Pennants side travelled up the mountain to Moss Vale to take on Gerringong. In spite of the poor weather the guys had a good match and won fairly comfortably 4 : 2. There were wins for Mark Johnston, John McFarlane, Jack Brand and Will Ockenden. Dave McLean and Steve Walda both suffered defeats.
The B Pennants only had a short trip to Nowra, up against the side from The Vale. Unfortunately the team did not fare very well. Matt Shirlaw and Gerard Day managed to square their matches, but losses to Peta Griffin, Geoff Dunn, Chris Phillips and Justin Mangan meant the team were well beaten 1 : 5.
The C Pennants also only had a short drive South of the river to Worrigee to take on Kiama. After last weeks good start the team were looking to consolidate their position but came up against a side playing very well. Only Tracey Casinelli was able to secure half a point as the rest of the team comprising Gary Hoare, Will Vale, Jo Webber, Paul Feest and Vincent Muller were all well beaten in the 0.5 : 5.5 scoreline.
Finally the White Horse Cup Team also stayed local, taking on Moss Vale at Nowra. With their Captain overseas in Japan they struggled to a 2.5 : 4.5 defeat. Simon Rudd and Rob Walker secured wins and Brendon Miller a half. Unfortunately there were losses to Ian Fox, Jordan Green, Troy Webster and Anthony Ballard.
