Inter Schools Challenge – May

It is that time of the year again! All games take place in the morning and prize-giving takes place on the balcony straight afterwards. A few rumblers may be dispensed but a lot of fun is had by all.

How Does it Work?
Each school is encouraged to enter as many teams of four players as they can. Each team must be broken into two BetterBall Pairings. A draw will be done by the School Principal (me) and pairs will be matched with pairs from other schools. The scoring is based on a combination of each pair’s Betterball Stableford score, with bonus points earned if you win or halve your game against your opposition on the day. It is much easier than it sounds.

What Must You Do Now?
Let me know how many teams of four players your school will be entering for your school. In 2019 we had a record 33 teams of four, and last year we had 31 teams! Let’s break the record in 2025.

Interschools Management WhatsApp Group
I have set up an Interschools WhatsApp group. Let me know if anyone should be added to this group.
