MARGATE CC
MCC is very proud of the performance of its women in the national interdistricts women’s seniors held in Pretoria. Kobie Stander, Dora Vosloo and Helen Proctor, playing for the Kingfisher senior women, brought home bronze medals this last week. Gae Gravell was also the manager of the team.
The second round of the Engel & Volkers men’s fours will take place this Friday and the teams will play each other based on their standings in the ladder. Ken Tonge’s team is leading at the moment with Tys Pringle’s team a close second, with only five points separating them. It will be interesting how the teams stand after this round. Last Saturday the club enjoyed the visit from the ‘ex-soccer pros’ and thank you to the local visitors who helped make the day memorable. Thanks to Johnny Louch for initiating the visit.
On duty from 24th March – Ida du Randt, Eileen Lloyd and Fred Deakin.
