Flynn the winner in three-way countback
GOLF
A BIRDIE, par, par finish on the back nine holes enabled Clayton Flynn to record the narrowest of victories in the 18-hole stroke event for the Bruce Miller and Trevor Graham trophy at Collie Golf Club last Saturday. Flynn’s fine score of 41 points was matched by David Laird and Chris Shea so a three-way countback was required to determine the outcome. Flynn and Laird both posted 22 on the back nine, while Shea did his best work on the front nine, with 21. The result was determined both by Flynn’s fine finish and Laird’s only blemish of his round, a wipe on hole number 16. Club president Lesley Motion was just one back from the leading trio in the allin event, on 40. On a high scoring day there were four
players on 38 - John Shepherd, Stephen Edwards, Baxter Miller and donor Trevor Graham - and two on 37 - Kevin Ireland and Eric Annandale. Others rewarded with vouchers in the field of 71 were Colin Giblett, Mick Pokrywka, Bev Moyses, Logan Giblett 36, Neil Motion, Connor Mumme, Flynn Cocker 35, Greg O’Neil, James Larsen and Wayne Waywood 34. John Shepherd’s good score was aided by novelty wins on Nos 7 and 15. Other novelties were won by Jayden Ellery (1), Regan Old (4), Lesley Motion (4), Margaret Whipp (7), Bevan Stone (9), Colin Giblett (14) and Rob Cavanagh (18). SHELLEY Barker-May ruled the roost in last week’s Tuesday leisure day 18hole stableford for Chris Shea’s trophy. She topped a good field of 50 golfers, with 38 points to be one clear of second and third placed Phil Rabjones and Jake
Avins on 37. Neil Motion, Colin Giblett, David Broadbent and Zac Reuben picked up vouchers for scores of 35, as did Darren O’Brien, John Wray, Jackson Broadbent 34, David Laird, Tony Barker-May, Jim Larsen and Lesley Motion 33. Max Thomas had the best tee shot on No. 4, while other novelty winners were Narrogin country member Charlie Buemi (7), Kalev Kutt (9), Fred Bronickis (14) and Phil Rabjones (18). A FOUR-WAY spin of the wheel was required to separate winner Terry Ellery from Peter Coombes, Jay Robinson and Ian Shannon who all finished on 18 points in last Thursday’s nine-hole scroungers event. The promising Baxter Miller had 17 to be best of the rest in a small Thursday field of 24. Jim Larsen (No. 1), John Williamson (6) and George Dorozenko (9) won the novelties.
THE ladies played Binningup at home last week and split the points. Rose Godfrey, Penny Valli, Glenice Kaurin and Lyn Mitchell won 35 to 16; Eileen Hindle, Kath McElroy, Kerry Scott and Heather Gibbs lost 8 to 27. Final score 2-2. Due to numbers, the versatility fours event was changed to pairs. The winners were Kerry Scott and Cheryle Brown from Lyn Mitchell and Eileen Hindle. The Harrison sponsored championship singles starts next Thursday, February 2, and will continue on February 9 and 23. The championship fours and South
West League championship fours are to be played in March. THERE was a good attendance at last week’s Wednesday meat pack games. Two games were played with only one pair, Max Cubic and Ray Colgan, winning both games on 4 plus 18. They won from Jeff Crowe and Glenice Kaurin with 3 plus 13. THERE were rinks of three and four played in last Sunday’s scroungers event. The four rink winners, in final winning order, were Chris Sanford, John Waywood, Len Flynn and Max Cubic. The highest scorer was Max Cubic and the consolation winner was AnnMarie Hore.

Davenport in Freo talent squad
Continued from back page. From this squad, players can progress to the 16s state academy squad which competes in the 16s AFLW National Championships in April. Davenport already maintains a busy schedule, having been part of the South West Football League (SWFL) development squad for two years. Since November, she has also travelled to Mandurah twice a week for fitness and skills training with Peel Thunder. After two cuts, Davenport is hopeful she might secure a place in the Peel Thunder women’s team. She is looking forward to the opportunity at the FFC and hopes to one day play in the WAFLW and AFLW.
