A Winning Finish for Midweek Challenge Grade C Side

Thank goodness for a (relatively) dry afternoon for the final round of action in this year's Zone 9 Midweek Challenge.

The highlight came in Grade C where the top two sides in their section- St Ives and Turramurra- met on our home green. On the big board St Ives scraped home 56-52 but that became a decisive 5 1/2- 1/2 point win on the ladder. Despite an impressive 6-0 win by Warrawee over Asquith, St Ives were first on the ladder and move forward into the post-sectional round next week. The other section winners in Grade C are Lindfield (1), Pittwater Memorial and Belrose.

In Grade A St Ives' last match was away to the ladder-topping Harbord side. The result was a creditable 50-61 loss (1 pt to 5).

The Grade B side ran into something of a hurricane at Turramurra, losing heavily 53-107 (0 pts to 6). Also at Turramurra, the Grade D side had rather better fortune notching up a nice 75-38 win (6 pts to 0).

The summary of our Midweek Challenge results are as follows:-

Grade	Results	Ladder Position	Section Winner
A	2 draws, 4 losses	4th	Harbord
B	1 win, 1 draw, 4 losses	4th	Turramurra
C	2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss	1st	​St Ives
D	2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss	2nd	Warrawee
