Wishaw Teams Update

The Wishaw Golf Club teams have been enjoying a good start to the 2011 season. The Junior Team defeated last years Sutton & District League Champions Handsworth 3.5 – 0.5 at home in their first game of the season. The team consisted of Joe Lawlor, Tom Williams(C), Josh Hughes, Sean Kelly, Blaine Guiney & Sophie Thompson. Their next fixture is a home tie with Aston Wood on Sunday 15th May. The Scratch Team have also got off to a flying start with 2 wins out of their opening 3 games of the season. The first game was played at home against Little Lakes, with a solid 7 – 1 home win the perfect start to the new season, including winning debut performances from Ben Stokes and Ian Atkinson. Next up was a difficult away game against Cleobury Mortimer, who themselves had won both their two opening home games 8 – 0. Although the team suffered a defeat, they were far from disgraced with a final score of 5.5 – 2.5. The game also marked another debut victory, this time for new boy Tom Garner. The 3rd game was another tricky away game. This time Stratford Oaks played host. Wishaw won the game 4.5 – 3.5, with fantastic wins in particular from Joe Lawlor & Tony Cox. The away win leaves Wishaw in 2nd place on 2 points behind division leaders Gaudet Luce on 3 points. Congratulations to both teams for such a good start to the season. Long may it continue.
