2021 Centenary Cup Final
On a perfect autumn morning the final of the 2021 Centenary Cup was played between Mel Foster and Thanh Chau. This matchup promised to be a tight affair which didn’t fail to disappoint. Mel was able to keep Thanh at bay on the majority of holes where she had to give a stroke by making par or birdie. Thanh’s short game was in order as she made putts to maintain the pressure on Mel. The match was square at 13, Mel made regulation on 14 going one up then squaring the 15th, birding the 16th and winning the 17th concluded what was a great contest. Mel winning 3/1. Congratulations to both players.
This year marks the 86th year of this major women’s event. The Centenary Cup was inaugurated in 1935 to celebrate the centenary of Victoria. The trophy was donated by Mrs Nancy Marriot (Lady President 1932- 1937). Three qualifying rounds of stroke play in conjunction with club competitions are played to select the eight best nett aggregate scores for handicap match play knockout.
