Moncton
The City of Moncton entry in the inaugural Geeks Golf tournament
expressed satisfaction after registering an opening round -10 62. The
team, comprised of Don "Digger" MacLellan, Steve "Scooter" Trueman, Doug
"The Deemer" Robertson and Steve "Sweet Swingin" Mitton appeared relaxed
and in solid early season form as they played the tournament's first
round. Said Robertson, "expectations for our team were somewhat tempered
so, despite our limited pre-season play, we felt relaxed and under no
particular pressure."
Scooter Trueman was in rare form, stroking the ball with particular
authority and following it up with solid and confident putting. The team
got off to a somewhat sluggish start, but once the first birdie was
registered, they found their groove and rolled eight under par in the
last ten holes.
Speaking after the match, Mitton said that it was the most satisfaction
he has had in months, but would not colourize the comment with further
clarity. The team was pleased with their effort, and said " we are happy
to lay down a respectable score for the other teams to go after". The
team was obviously pleased to, at least temporarily, hold the position
of clubhouse leader. Said MacLellan " we wish the other teams well over
the next two days and hope the prospective frontrunners are duly
challenged by this score". Robertson added " the playing conditions were
challenging tonight, with swirling winds and a lot of crowd noise so we
were happy with our result".
The team will now sit back and await the final results and hope to be a
factor come. Saturday's sudden death playoff. "We'll be ready, if we
have the chance to be in the playoff" said Mitton "and will be happy to
face any of the other Geek teams under any set of sudden d eath rules".
He added, "we've seen it all before so frankly little out there will
rattle us".

Here’s a little known fact…
- 87% of all Mascot injuries are related to getting kicked in the groin. Also 92% of all statistics given are made up on the spot!
