Taking place at the lovely Royal Malta Golf Club – the 3 matchday competition launching in December 2024 between teams representing Malta, GB & I, Scandinavia and Nordics and The Rest. The teams of 12, across the various club divisions, will be Captained by Nicky Urpani, Patrick Carey, Alex Hillblom and Gernot MacSchmid respectively.
Another blustery, damp and demanding day greeted Round 2.
Malta taking on the Rest and a tie. 3/3. Highlights included young pair Sam Azzorpardi and Mark Ganado decimating OOM leader Danjiel Bogdanovic and Creasy Cup holder Pavel Lunev and an equally big win for Messrs Scudamore and Crittien against the VC and Moses Kiberu. The other matches were closer and the Rest prevailed in 3 to take a tie including the Sanders/ Baltzis axis, the former playing on 2 hours sleep after watching his beloved Eagles lift the Super Bowl.
In the other Match, Scan/Nordics took 3 1/2 points from GBI who lost the overall again. Currently, Patrick Carey the team captain is under more pressure than Ange Postecoglou, the Spurs Manager, after two defeats. Will he face the axe was the question circling the clubhouse…….
Highlights in this match included another birdie barrage from Tore Lindtveit (5).
Standings:
Scandinavia/ Nordics 7
The Rest 6.5
Malta 5.5
GBI 5
SN play The Rest in the final Matchday on another Public Holiday. 31st March. So, it’s set up for a grandstand finish with the two leading teams against each other.

Despite trailing, Malta/GBI still have it all to play for with a big win for either side potentially upsetting the Apple Cart.
