Weekend Women's Crossman Cup & Golf Fanatics Trophy 2016

This year’s Crossman Cup resulted in a dramatic victory by Hastings over Napier. It was agreed at the end of last year’s competition that a change would be trialled this year, in an attempt to provide an extra match (only 5 teams compete) and a more exciting finish to this competition.  So this year the overall winning team was determined by a play-off between the teams placed 1st (Napier) and 2nd (Hastings) in the round robin matches, rather than the traditional format of the winning team declared at the conclusion of the round robin play.

The final was played at Takapau  on Sunday 12th June in fine cool conditions, and  the course certainly lived up to its reputation as a good test of golf. Many of the matches went to the wire, but the final result was a narrow win by Hastings  4.5 to 3.5.

The Golf Fanatics Trophy (4 Ball team match play) was won by Combined on a count-back over Napier and Hastings, all 3 teams finishing with 5 team points.

Congratulations to the winning teams and many thanks to all host clubs and participants.
