North Queensland Girls Win 2008 Junior Jug

The 2008 Inter-District Match Play Teams Event for junior girls wound up this morning at the Coolangatta-Tweed Heads Golf Club. The course was in superb condition and the girls from all 7 women's golfing districts in Queensland really enjoyed the challenge of the "round robin" style match play in perfect weather conditions.

The girls from Women's Golf North Queensland were very excited to be declared the winners of the 2008 Junior Jug after some closely-fought matches in the final round. Wide Bay Burnett, Far North Queensland and Downs & South West were also well in the running, but all needed a decisive win in the final round to catch North Queensland.

The winning team from North Queensland consisted of Elisabeth Mineo (age 17) from Townsville on a handicap of 9, Shae Holmes (age 16) from Mackay on a handicap of 7 and Eileen Bell (age 17) from Rowes Bay on a handicap of 5. Their managers were Margaret Schultink, WGNQ Junior Co-ordinator and Pam Lindeberg, WGNQ Vice President.

All three girls contributed to the team's success, with Shae Holmes being the "stand out", winning all of her 5 matches.

North Queensland were particularly excited, as their last win in this event was in 1991, when the team consisted of Patrice and Janelle Slade and Karrie Webb.
