2024 Master PennantsSunday 28th July - Grand Final: After 2 weeks of postponements due to the weather conditions, finally we managed to meet Cumberland Golf Club in the Grand Final Playoff at Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club. The match was played in testing conditions with strong winds and chilly temperatures. North Ryde got off to a promising start as at half way we were up in 5 matches and 3 were halved. Promising, but not over the line yet. Midway through the back nine we started to get the wobbles and Cumberland were up or square in 5 matches. However, our North Ryde fighting spirit came through and we claimed the win with 2 matches unfinished for a 5.5 to 2.5 win. I believe this is the first senior competition win in 42 years for North Ryde and the flag will proudly be on display for all to see soon. This squad of Glenn Blundell, Chris Millard, Greg Sheaves, Rob Righton, Greg Imber, Brett Cummerford, Ross Wilson, John McKie, Glenn Woodley, Roy Shuttleworth, Greg Howe and Brad Hyland is something North Ryde Golf Club should be very proud of. A special mention goes to Glenn Blundell for his undefeated performance throughout the competition. I would also like to take this opportunity to massively thank all our Caddies and Club Supporters, many of whom ventured out to Twin Creeks to support the Team. It was very much appreciated by all the players. Special mention and thanks to our Sponsors - TyrePower, Palmers Glass, West Ryde Smash Repairs and Bennelong Legal Services for their continued support which is very much appreciated. And finally, I would like to thank the Team for the honour and privilege of managing them and I now congratulate them on an outstandingly successful season. Steve Callaghan - Team Manager
