Hi All,

Thanks for making the effort to enter this teams-based competition, this year sponsored by the Esplanade Hotel, Inverloch. Based on last year’s success, it promises to be a lot of fun! The first round of the competition kicks off next week (commencing Monday 4th April) and the competition will run until about early June, weather and other issues permitting.

After the closure of entries we formed 8 teams of 8 players. We did so via a “draft” in which the 8 lowest handicap male and female players were distributed by secret draw throughout the 8 teams, followed by the next 8 etc, until all 64 players had been allocated to teams. This resulted in the 8 teams having average player handicaps ranging from 18.1 to 20.3, with most around 19 average player handicap. Hopefully this evening out of talent will produce some exciting and close results!

Rather than just name the teams 1-8, we went with Victorain-based AFL Footy team nicknames. Apologies to those of you who object to having to wear colours of teams you may well hate into battle!

The Draw for the first 3 rounds is as follows:
