Following in the footsteps of last season's final match tie between these two squads, Wissahickon once again went home without tasting victory suffering a one stroke defeat 214-215 at the hands of Upper Merion at Gulph Mills GC. The hot, sunny day worked in Upper Merion's favor as the always tough Gulph Mills greens were only made more difficult by the elements and added to the team's home course advantage. The top three seeds on both squads completed play with an identical aggregate score of 120, and the match turned Upper Merion's way when fourth seed Ryan Estock posted a score of 43. Upper Merion's Eric Slawter was the match medalist at 38, while Jesse Hunsicker and Jalen Griffin each posted 39 for Wissahickon. The tough loss dropped the Trojans from the ranks of the undefeated in the American Conference play and left them eager to even the score when the two squads battle it out again on Wissahickon's home turf, Cedarbrook CC, in late September.

While Huntingdon Valley hardly fits a description of "home" for the Abington golf team's heart, it is the designated course for "home" matches; however, as the course was shut down for the past six weeks, their first "home" match proved a bit cumbersome for many of the players* -- but not senior stalwarts Ben Cooley and Rich Thorpe. Cooley shot a one-under 34, which was highlighted by three birdies; Thorpe, as steady as a metronome, didn't post much bling, but his 37 did shine. Kris Carr (43) and Chris Gerhardt (43...in his first contribution this year) managed to turn in decent scores as did Nick Coyle (44) and Mike Murphy (44). Although the team didn't crack 200, HVCC is a tough nut, and even though the team was pleased with a win over an improved Bensalem squad, the team yearns to chop some lumber and show the C-9 who's in charge.
*Junior Brandon Caine suffered his first disastrous hole of the year, posting an 11 on the par 4 fifth hole. However, Caine showed great fortitude on the next hole, chipping in for a birdie 2. Last year's Brandon would have folded, but this year's Brandon didn't snap...although a shaft did.
