There are trophies… and then there’s McIlwraith’s bucket!

The Peter Nicholson Bucket Competition is one of McIlwraith’s most treasured events, initiated by one of our revered club leaders and respected national competitor, Peter Nicholson.

Open to players with handicaps of 9 and above, this year’s competition has attracted an impressive 16 entrants (many shown below with Club Captain Andrew Cole at centre). Even more exciting, some competitors have only been members for a few months — a fantastic example of members stepping up, giving it a go and embracing the spirit of the game.

Tomorrow’s best-of-three final promises to be a cracker, with Anne Barry taking on Jeffrey Searle for the coveted Bucket!

Good luck to both finalists. If you’re at the club, this is definitely a match worth watching!
