Sports News from St Andrew’s College vs Kingswood.
GOLF VS KINGSWOOD COLLEGE
Last Friday, the St Andrew’s College golf team took part in the annual K-Day fixture against Kingswood College at Belmont Golf Club. Both schools fielded 18 players, forming a total of 9 fourballs, which made for a competitive and vibrant day on the course.
It was especially pleasing to see a balanced mix of top players and those still developing their game. The atmosphere was one of friendship and spirited competition, as many of the boys knew each other well, adding to the excitement of the day.
The format for the day was better-ball match play, both in the A and B divisions, which allowed players of varying handicaps to participate fairly. In this format, the team that wins the most holes wins the match. In the A-division, the school was represented by the top 8 players, and in their pairings, they performed exceptionally well with the following results:
· Ethan Bradfield and Jarryd Froy won 10 and 8.
· Daniel Patton and Ethan Malan won 10 and 8.
· Sebastian Steffny and Tom Lake won 8 and 6
· James Ponting and Callum Taggart won 5 and 3.
These results in the A-division saw College claim victory in all matches.
In the B-Division, the results were equally impressive with standout performances by our players. The B-division results were as follows:
· Andaman Schierenberg and Digby Simpson won by 11 holes up.
· Stuart White and Josh Hinks also won by 11 holes up
· Kevin Turk and Nsofwa Kayula halved their match by 4, and we commend Nsofwa for an amazing 15-foot putt for a birdie that secured their draw.
Overall, College emerged victorious in the 2025 K-Day Golf fixture.
Congratulations to all the boys for their commitment and exemplary performances. Your competitive spirit made the day a proud moment for the College.
