The new Pennant Season has commenced and after 3 Rounds, our win ratio is not looking good. This year the Ladies have joined the Men’s Pennants for the very first time. WPH has entered two Grades, 5 and 6. Results to date are:
Grade 5:
Played 3 games. The first against Denistone resulted in a 50-60 loss, despite winning 2 Rinks. Game 2 was against Pennant Hills, again resulting in a narrow loss 52-59. The third game was played on Sunday at WPH. Early morning showers threatened to cancel the game, but after getting away to an early lead, the wheels fell off. The final result was a loss 59-69, Ross Iredale’s team having the only win. Rod Wright was unavailable for both games and will be welcomed back this weekend.
Grade 6:
Played 2 games with a Bye. Our first game resulted in a 9-1 win against our neighbours Dural (72-50). Our second game was against Wentworthville Leagues Club. The game was on their ‘Carpet’ rink and most of our players had not played on this surface previously and struggled as a result. The final score was 42-80 with our only success an 18-18 draw, gained on the very last end.
This weekend the Fives play Brush Park at Carlingford and the Sixes play Merrylands at WPH.
