Pacific School Games Champions

The South Australian 17 & Under team has won the Pacific School Games held in Adelaide from Tuesday, 5th to Friday, 8th December.

In a testament to the strength of our junior program, Glenelg was represented by eight players over four SA teams.

In the victorious Boys’ 17 & Under team, Glenelg’s Jack Buchanan, Jack Tanner & Frank Vucic were joined by Will Arnold, Kyle Hayter & Nick Thompson.  SA finished the match play event on 9 points, too good for New South Wales, Victoria & Western Australia on 6 points.  Frank Vucic was the best placed Glenelg player in the Individual Championship at T9.

The Girls’ 17 & Under team Caitlin Peirce & Amelia Whinney joined our Charley Jacobs, Jade Kinita, Shakira Kuys & Tilly Miels.  Unfortunately the girls finished 4th in the team match play event.  Charley Jacobs was the best South Aussie in the Individual Championship finishing in 4th place, 4 shots back from the winner.

Young Josh Grundel was our solo representative in the 12 & Under teams.  The SA boys finished 3rd out of 7 teams in this division.
