The Post Sectional Pennant Playoffs were held at Halekulani on 22nd, 23rd, 24th April. The sun was shining on Sunday when President Lesley welcomed Grade 4 to the first day of the playoffs.
Grades 2, 3 joined Grade 4 and were welcomed on Monday. Unfortunately the weather was not kind and after a rain interrupted a.m. match which wasn’t completed until mid afternoon a decision was made to abandon play. This meant rescheduling the p.m. Monday matches to Tuesday a.m. and the Tuesday a.m. matches to the afternoon.
Sunny skies greeted the players on Tuesday morning where the deferred games from Monday were able to be completed successfully. At lunch time President Lesley welcomed Grade 1 for their final. During the afternoon the weather once again changed and players were called in from the green to allow a storm front to pass and then it was back out to complete the final game of the Post Sectional playoffs.
Although the weather was not pleasant the number of spectators who came along to cheer on their ladies was great to see.
The presentation of flags and formalities were held inside due to the conditions on the green and the lateness of the completion of the games. This certainly didn’t deter from the exciting atmosphere for the winners and runners up.
I’m sure a number of clubs will be celebrating their success for a long time to come.
2012 saw a number of “firsts”.
Halekulani are the first club in CCD history to have all their pennant sides make the playoffs and therefore be represented in all grades.
Davistown RSL won their first pennant flag in the club’s history.
