KGU
lost by a margin of only one point
picking an average of 14 points per
match.
With only four rounds remaining,
the league table is indeed looking
unfamiliar. Perennial winners Railway
Golf Club are languishing in position
8! It is worth noting that Railway won
the competition in 2016, 2017 and
2018. Thika, Vetlab, Sigona and Golf
Park have maintained their fine form
and are still in contention.
The 2019 Nairobi District League is
being run under new rules. Among
the changes introduced this year
is the exclusion of the tier system
which did away with the erstwhile
leagues- Super, Main and Subsidiary.
Under the new rules, all clubs are
required to field a minimum of 15
teams with each team playing for
maximum two points. There are
30 maximum points per round. All
players play of their full handicap
subject to 90% of handicap
difference. There’s no strokes limit
and clubs are not allowed to play
Honorary members.
As the competition enters the home
stretch, it will be interesting to see
whether Team Royal will cling to the
top spot and stem off the challenge
from the chasing pack. Some of the
interesting upcoming fixtures that
might determine the destination of
the trophy include Limuru v Royal,
Vetlab v Golf Park, Muthaiga v Thika,
Vetlab v Thika and Sigona v Royal.
The jury is still out.
