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!
