Coronation Cup Finals 2019

The 2019 Coronation Cup finals were played at OngaOnga on Sunday.

The 4 teams that won through to the final were Te Pohue from Zone 1, Napier from Zone 2, Porongahau from Zone 3 and Pongaroa in Zone 4.

Saturday weather was rather cold, windy and wet at times, but Sunday was a brilliant day weather wise.

The hosting club OngaOnga did an outstanding job which made the weekend flow very well so special thanks to John Swinburne and his team for looking after everybody.

After the Saturday play it was very even, with maybe Te Pohue holding a slight advantage in games but come Sunday, Napier took full advantage of the improved conditions, being unbeaten with 8 wins and 4 halves across the 12 players.

Napier took out the cup with 6 points from 3 wins, while the other three teams went turnabout, beating each other, all having 1 win each, so 2 points each.

Congratulations to Napier GC and the players involved for the win – unbeaten on the last day speaks for itself, a great achievement. Robin Daley, a Golf HB and Golf NZ life member presented the trophy to Gerry Gray, the Napier captain.

Finally, thanks to Russell Burns who looked after the day for Golf HB and again to John and OngaOnga for the presentation of the course and the catering.
