With two teams lining up at Middleburg Country Club, the defending champions will bring twice the firing power to the battle when the prestigious team event tees off from 9 – 10 August.

‘As the defending champions, we received automatic entry into this year’s event but we decided to enter both our A and B teams in the provincial regional qualifiers in June. I wanted all 8 players to experience the competition and have the chance to play together,’ explained Saint Dunstans Director of Sport, Chris Tucker.

Stuart Krogg and Jack Allard dealt South Africa a crushing blow when they ended South Africa’s unbeaten run at the Africa Zone V1 Golf Championships on Wednesday.

After a clean sweep in the foursomes, South Africa looked on track to score full points in the fourballs, but Krogg and Allard had the measure of the greens at Devonvale Golf and Wine Estate and handed the SA pair a 3 and 2 drubbing.

South Africa kept ahead in the log with 15 points, but the local favourites may have to pull out all the stops in the final round singles to secure the country’s 19th title in Africa’s most prestigious team championship.

Looking to go one better than their runner up spot last year, Zimbabwe pulled within three points of South Africa and sits comfortably in second place.

But Zimbabwe is not the only threat.

Namibia also made a major move with three foursomes victories and a clean sweep in the fourballs to finish just a half point behind Zimbabwe.

Swaziland slipped into fourth on the log with 9.5 points alongside Mauritius, while Kenya and Malawi lurk just a half point back in sixth.

National pride takes precedence this week as South Africa takes up its title defense in the 2014 Africa Zone VI Golf Tournament at the Devonvale Golf and Wine Estate this week.

Over three days, the national team will line up against 11 other African nations to chase down the country’s 19th victory since 1995 in Africa’s flagship team event.

There was a lot of cheerful banter and playful teasing between the teams on the weekend, but once the SA squad took to the Ken Alkin designed layout for the official practice round on Monday, the players were all business.

Last year, the victorious SA team lost just one point over two rounds of singles, a round of foursomes at Windhoek Country Club in Namibia.

The country’s hoping to head off South Africa’s title defense include Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Zimbabwe finished four points behind South Africa in second on 19 points and Namibia took third on 15 points.
