Mullumbimby Golf Club is extremely proud following the great achievement of their Division 1 Ladies Pennant team, and the girls are pretty chuffed as well. Go girls!
It’s the first time since ladies began playing in 1934 that Mullumbimby has won the Division 1 Northern Rivers Ladies Pennant.
The team, consisting of Julianne Ross (captain), Deb Cullen, Gwyn Parsons, Michelle Stenner, and Sharon Thompson, with reserves Liz Parks and Judy Towner played at courses across the Northern Rivers over the past two months.
To win the prestigious event the Mullumbimby ladies played Ocean Shores at Grafton winning 5-0, Ballina at Yamba winning 3-2, Teven at Mullumbimby which resulted in a draw, and Grafton at Ocean Shores winning 3-2.
Going into the final round at Ballina Golf Course, Mullumbimby held a narrow half-point advantage over Ballina.
Mullumbimby went on to secure a 3-2 win over Grafton and Ballina lost to Teven 2-3 resulting in the Mullumbimby ladies winning 17-15 ½.
Congratulations to the Division 1 Pennant team, it’s taken a long time to win but was worth the wait.
