MEN Sunday 23rd November, Gerry Butler Plate On Sunday Drouin held our annual Gerry Butler Plate event. Twenty teams of four from around Gippsland were in attendance and we were fortunate enough to complete the event in fine conditions without a drop of rain. The team from Maffra were not so fortunate, heavy rain in their area meant roads were blocked and they were a late withdrawl.
Sixteen players braved the extremely wet conditions on Saturday. Probably all of those that finished their round deserved a trophy, but of course there can be only one winner. Craig Cottier (13) scored an impressive 39 points to win comfortably from runner up Harry Matthews 35. The CCR was 72.
