After much deliberation the Golf Club unit decided to make the switch from Gilgandra to Narromine and the first outing has proved the change thus far to be a successful one.

Golf Club took on the 2008/09 Narromine Minor Premiers Trangie at Warren

on Friday night and came

out convincing winners with

a six wicket victory, albeit against a much depleted Trangie side.

Trangie won the toss and elected to bat first in the first game at Victoria Oval for the season.

Their innings started off shakily losing a wicket in the second over to the bowling of Sean Robson which saw Trangie at 1/7 early.

Trangie made a recovery from this point to see them

at 2/57 after 15 overs but

from this moment the

Trangie batting line up suffered a massive collapse to lose

eight wickets for just 31 runs

to see them bowled out for 88.

Best with the bat for

Trangie were former players

in the Warren competition

Bill Tyrwhitt 20 and Rick

Wilson 19 while Trangie

captain Richard Flynn also made 20.

The Golf Club bowling

attack was best served by

Trevor O’Mally with 4/17

while Matt Langby and Todd Whalan claimed two wickets each.

In reply, the Golf Club innings got off to a flying start with Matt Stephens 35 and Matt Colwell 19 putting on 55 for

the first wicket in just over 10 overs.

Golf Club had a few stumbles from this point losing a further three wickets in achieving the victory target .

They finished at 4/89 to record their first win in the Narromine competition after just 20 overs.

The task will only be

tougher this week as Golf Club takes on current premiers Backwater at Victoria Oval on Saturday night. Golf Club

will need to raise the bar if they are to beat the reigning premiers.
