The Interleague table after round 5 (for most) …

The match up of leaders after round 4, Tee Set, against second placed Tin Cups could almost have been considered the grand final on Sunday with both teams having pulled away from the pack in the previous events.

School holidays were to cut out our young guns from the equation with siblings Barbora and Daniel returning for holidays in Europe.

Nevertheless Tee Set has great depth in its ranks this year and quality replacements were quickly found with Simon Reynolds itching to go head to head against match play expert Joseph Peries and the game was worthy of its build up, with Simon playing under his handicap to take the match 2 and 1.

The other singles was Joseph d’Cruz up against Indonesian junior champ Tika. Although Joseph had a stroke on every other hole it was not enough to beat the champ and the match went to Tin Cups 4 and 2.

That however was where the day ended for Tin Cups, with all three doubles games going to Tee Set. First up were Anlo and Divya taking apart Bags and Tee Set’s very own VP of Exotic Drinks, James Young, by 4 and 3.

The next two matches were particularly hard fought see-sawing affairs with the lead moving back and worth constantly however Geoff/Murcho saw off Fuku /Sebastian 1 up while Chris Lever paired up with Captain Ric to see off John Church and Robert Humberson by the same score.

So 8-2 and a fantastic result for Tee Set!

Respect and  thanks to Tim Cups for their part in a hard fought tussle played in a great sporting spirit. An excellent example of what the Interleague competition is all about.

Two more Interleague matches to go now with the first against Mad Dogs in September followed by the final match of the season against Sand Baggers in October.

With Tee Set now 13 points clear of its nearest rival we are now odds-on favourites but nevertheless these last two games need to be wins to close out our statement for 2015. So let’s get behind the team, come join Interleague us next month to show your support.
