Results

This is the first year that Echunga have been able to field their own team. In the past our junior members have filled in for teams from Oakbank and Aston Hills.
The format of the game is 2-person ambrose and the scoring is per hole, 1/2pt for a draw, 1 pt for a win.
The course is a 9-hole modified course shorter in length to our orange course.

Meet the team:
3 year veterans: Harrison Burt (11yo), Max Lenger (13yo), Aidan Hicks (11yo, not present for photo)
2 year veteran: William Burt (9yo),
New players: Dante Stubbs (9yo), Franco Stubbs (7yo), Thomas Ryan (12yo), James Ryan (12yo), Domenic Meyer (10yo)
