Canterbury Team Finish Third
30 October 2006
Quaranguler Tournament - Nelson Golf Club
The Canterbury Senior Men’s Team finished a disappointing third at the Quadrangular Tournament over the weekend.

Individually Nic Fry, Willie Moore, Brad Stuart, and Dean Cameron preformed well.
The Lion Foundation 5 man team (plus reserve) will be named after the final 36 hole matchplay trial to be played at the Timaru Golf Club on 12 November. It is fair to say players will need to perform with a number of positions up for grabs.
Quadrangular Final Standings:
1st Wellington
2nd North Harbour
3rd Canterbury
4th Tasman
