Team North storms to 2025 Trans-Murray Matchplay Victory
Team North storms to 2025 Trans-Murray Matchplay Victory
It was an exciting week of golf for the 2025 Trans-Murray Matchplay. 66 golfers from both sides of the Murray River returned to Canberra to represent their region, and battle for supremacy in this annual Teams Matchplay event. This was the 12th running of the annual Trans-Murray Matchplay, and Team North was keen to reclaim their past glory, and bring the "Murray" trophy home, having lost the previous two events.
There was some incredible competition, great sportsmanship, and some truly awesome camaraderie throughout the week.
Day 1
The First day's action (Pairs/Ambrose), saw a friendly yet fierce start to the event, played at the gorgeous Federal Golf Club, which was in great condition, and a proved to be a delight for our players.
The highlight of the day included a Hole-in-One by south stalwart, David Murray, who aced the tricky 16th hole. Congratulations David!
After the scores were tallied after Day 1, Team North jumped out to an early 9.5 to 7.5 lead.
Day 2
Day 2 of the 2025 Trans-Murray Matchplay saw a heap of action at the magnificent Gold Creek, with the lead see-sawing all day. Team South started off strong, but North dominated the final pairings. In the Alternate-shot pairs format of the day, Team North edged further ahead, taking 9 matches to South's 8.
Day 3
There was excitement in the air for the all-important Singles matches on Day 3, at the picturesque Gungahlin Lakes. The scoring was tight, and both teams were feeling the pressure. With thunderstorms predicted for the afternoon, both teams aimed to take an early lead, as they knew that EVERY POINT MATTERED.
With winds and a bit of on-again-off-again rain (the thunderstorms never eventuated, despite a bit of lightning in the distance) the players all battled hard.
Following the round, the points were tallied as the players enjoyed drinks, food, laughter and stories of made (and missed) putts from the week.
When the points were finalised, Despite a valiant effort by Team South in the Saturday Singles, the Northerners were just too strong, capturing "Murray" with a 38 to 29 Victory.
Congratulations to Team North!!
Final points:
| Team | D1 | D2 | D3 | Total Points | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| North | 9.5 | 9.0 | 19.5 | 38 | |
