Team 1 and Team 2 travelled south to for the N.R.D.G.A. finals today.
Team 1 played Mullumbimby at Ballina but were unsuccessful with Mullumbimby winning 5&2. Reports were the drizzle was annoying but the team from Mullumbimby were a great group of guys and very humble in their victory. Congratulations to Mullumbimby for the win and without question well done to Club Banora Team 1 for making it to the final.
Team 2 played Iluka at Byron Bay and had a score to settle after the last time they met. Club Banora Team 2 came away victorious winning 5&2. Team 2 was a relatively new team with a couple of new players, a new Team Captain and a Team 4 player stepping up for the last 2 rounds. Congratulations gents! You have done yourselves and the Club proud. A special mention if I can to Bryan Penny for stepping up as Captain for the first time and leading from the front! I’ll happily have you as Pennant Captain again next year if you’re willing.
Thank you to all the other players who represented the Club and traveled to all the matches. Thank you to all the players who filled in at short notice to make sure we could field a full teams in each division every week! Special thanks to our other 3 Captains, Terry Foster, Wayne Muir and Paul Quinlin. Captaincies are yours again next year if your happy to.
Last but not least, thank you to Kevin Haddrick for getting the ball rolling, playing up a team and pointing the new Captain and Team Captain in he right direction!
Cheers 🍻
Captain Tink
