Tully Park Juniors

THE Tully Park juniors of Trent Cooper, Rheannah Webb and Jon Gegg have been more than holding their own in the Canberra junior pennants season having helped their Gold Creek/Tully Park team to two wins and a draw over recent weeks to have the team in good position half way through the rounds.

Leading by example as captain, Trent has managed to continue his good form from two years ago still remaining undefeated against some very strong Canberra juniors with wins of four and three, four and three, and one up in the matchplay event.

Rheannah has continued her good recent form at Tully in her two matches squaring last week on the 18th in a high pressure finish to give the team a win and winning this week six and five.

Jon Gegg's first game of the season in round one saw him resume his form of two years ago to finish up three and two as he returns to the team this week hoping to cement his form.

The monthly Par three event at Tully, (great for juniors, newcomers to golf, and those wanting to sharpen their skills), has seen the juniors coming through in a big way with the competition between some of the girls starting to heat up.

With junior coaching returning to Tully this Saturday morning at 8.30 we'll be on the lookout for the next crop of juniors with potential to further challenge our pennants players.
