On Saturday, Luke Christie-Johnson (14) utilised some extra propulsion (possibly generated by one of Laurie Murphy's Potent Possum Pies) to grab the win in A-Grade with 37 points from Terry Robinson (14) on 35 points.

In B-Grade, Jarad Cesarone's (38) 39 points was good for a 4 shot win over Alex McLean-Nielsen (24) who had 35 points.

A return to Wintery conditions and 50mm of rain during the week made it tough and slippery on the 41 players with birdies very rare. In fact only 10 for the whole field on holes - 1, 3(2), 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 14 & 16. LC-J and Hamish grabbed half the birds between them with Luke getting birdies on 3, 7 & 14 and Hamish getting 3 & 5.

Nearest to the pin (in cms)

• 1st: Peter Griffiths - 360
• 7th: Anthony Miller - 393
• 9th: Darren Gordon - 249
• 17th: Neil Whalan - 500

Oberon United Football Club

No play for the juniors because of the weather turning the fields into swamps, but the 3rd Grade Women continued on their winning way.

The Club had this to say:

"Our ladies team had a top of the table clash last weekend up against Macquarie Black. Great game and result for our ladies winning 2-1. Both goals going to our striker Bethany Wilkinson!

"With one home game against Eglinton FC next weekend at 11am and our ladies team still remaining on the top of the ladder board they are one step closer to their minor premiership of their comp for the season. Can’t wait to watch and support our ladies at their last home game as well as in the finals. Please come and support them if you can they’d greatly appreciate it."
