SIMPSON CUP UPDATE – ROUND 7

Marg Young — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 02:39:23 +0000

The 7th and final round of the Simpson Cup took place yesterday at Grange East, where our Southern team faced the highly rated Royal Adelaide team. Unfortunately, a miracle win that could have saved us from relegation was not to be.

That said, we put up a spirited performance! Andy Fiebig and Cooper Hoppo secured victories, while Phil Chapman achieved a hard-fought half against former Echunga junior Billy Cawthorne. Though the rest of our team battled valiantly, they ultimately fell short in their matches.

This season has offered some promising signs, with valuable experience gained by our rising stars. These young players will undoubtedly grow stronger in the years ahead as we work towards building a robust and competitive team.

With relegation to the A2 division for next year, our focus is now on bouncing back and reclaiming our spot in the Simpson Cup by 2027.

A massive thank you to all the players who participated or made themselves available this season—your dedication is truly appreciated.

A special shoutout goes to Jamie Burt from the Southern Golf Group for his fantastic management of the team.

Best of luck to everyone as we gear up for the SGG Pennant season, starting in about four weeks!

Simpson Cup Pennant Update – Round 6

Marg Young — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 05:47:54 +0000

Round 6 of the Simpson Cup at Kooyonga brought us great weather and a tough challenge. Our team faced the Vines, needing an upset win to stay in contention and avoid relegation.

Despite missing our number one player due to unexpected work commitments, we reshuffled and fought fiercely. The result? A nail-biting finish, with our team just missing out, 3-4.
Victory seemed within reach for much of the day, as several players led during crucial stages, only to be overtaken in the closing holes. Hats off to our winners—Ben Leske, Phil Chapman, and Jarrod Thoman—who delivered solid performances. Every other player gave it their all, and it came down to the finest of margins—a putt or two could have turned the tide.

With one round remaining, we face Royal Adelaide at Grange Golf Club. While relegation feels unavoidable, our team is committed to giving it everything, pushing for a memorable final round. Stay tuned for updates as we chase one last big win!

Marg Young — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 22:25:17 +0000

Round 5 of the Simpson Cup took place at Glenelg on Sunday, in a must-win battle for our Southern team against Thaxted Park. Both teams entered winless, with the stakes high: the loser would face the grim prospect of relegation.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t our day, with a final score of 2-5 against us. On the bright side, we had standout performances from Andy Fiebig, who secured a solid victory at number 1, and Simon Connelly, who delivered an emphatic win at number 3. The rest of our players fought valiantly under tough, windy conditions, showing great resilience.

While this match may have been our best chance to stave off relegation, the fight isn’t over yet. We have two matches remaining: this week against The Vines at Kooyonga and our final showdown with Royal Adelaide at Grange.

Our players have proven their potential on their day, and we’re all hoping for a strong finish. Let’s rally behind the team and aim to turn the tide in these final rounds!

The 4th round of the Simpson Cup saw our Southern team face off against Grange at Royal Adelaide on March 9th in warm conditions. While hopes were high for a victory, the result didn’t go our way, with the team battling hard but ultimately going down 1-6.

Simpson Cup – Round 3 Update

Marg Young — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:05:38 +0000

Today was round 3 of the Simpson Cup played at Thaxted Park, and our Southern team played against Glenelg.

Our team suffered a major setback during the week when our number 1 player, Andy Fiebig had to withdraw due to an injury concern. Hopefully Andy will be back next week, but meanwhile the loss made it that but harder for all other players because everyone needed to move up the order and face a slightly better opponent.

Tim Jenkin came into the team for his Simpson cup debut and played at number 7.

Despite the setback we managed our best result in the season so far.

Cooper Hoppo managed his first Simpson cup win and our first win of the season so big congratulations to Cooper on that performance.

Great efforts also from Elliott Willgoose and Jake Munn who returned to the team after being omitted last week following poor performances in round 1.

They both redeemed themselves well today coming away with halves. The other didn’t fair so well but none were disgraced.

Today’s effort should bring some more confidence to our team and thoughts if chalking up an overall win soon should be considered well within reach.

Next week we head over to the sacred Royal Adelaide turf with high hopes and expectations of getting the win.
