Shafted presented with Champions League Runner-Up Trophies

Team Shafted from the Goonawarra Golf Club got a visit from the Gopher on Tuesday 17th of November and were presented with the Runner-Up trophy for the 2009 Champions League.  The players were disappointed in losing the big match, but were grateful in finishing as the second best Sevens Golf team in Australia for the Year, not an easy thing to do considering there are around 400 teams now playing around Australia.

They congratulated the Wanna Wac Em team on their victory and wished them all the best, and are hoping to get another chance with a different result next time around.

Congratulations Shafted!

Champions League Belt presented to Wanna Wac Em

The Champions League Belt was presented to Wanna Wac Em at the Forbes Golf Club where it will proudly remain on display for the next 12 months.

Team Captain Libby Godden praised her sides commitment to winning the title for not only themselves, but for all of Forbes, a town which has been devastated by continuing drought conditions.  Libby had this to say at the presentation,

"On behalf of all girls in the Wanna Wac Ems I would like to thank the organisers of Sevens Golf, all the members of the Forbes Golf Club, a special thanks to Tony, Ray, Marg and Ronny for all the support and encouragement you have given us throughout this competition.

And not forgetting our families, who some of us have neglected for the last five weeks, or maybe since we started playing golf!

Wanna Wac Em win 2009 Champions League!

Wanna Wac Em from the Forbes Golf Club in regional NSW has won the inagural Sevens Golf Champions League after an impressive 92-80 victory over Goonawarra Golf Club entry, Shafted.  Both teams were wildcard entries into the Champions League, gaining entry on their strong performances from last summer which saw Shafted finish the season as the number 1 ranked side in Australia without winning their local title.  Wanna Wac Em have been clearly the best side over the past five weeks and were favourites heading into the final with previous total scores of 86, 84, 97 and 81.  As their handicaps plummeted the side found themselves striving to play better and better, which they ultimately acheived in scoring 92 points in the final to defeat Shafted who scored an otherwise excellent score of 80 points.
