WINNERS: The Gatton Jubilee Golf Club division one team of (back) Anthony Bauer, Matthew Lejeune, Craig Lee, Craig Brown, Nicholas Berlin, (front) captain John Croker and Ron Weatherby celebrate winning the Darling Downs Pennants Golf grand final. Contributed VICTORY has just eluded Matthew Lejeune on numerous occasions so that makes Gatton's last-gasp win in the Darling Downs Golf Association Division One Pennants final even more special for the club.
In the first Pennants final not to feature a Toowoomba club, Lejeune holed a tricky seven-foot putt on the par three 18th at Gatton Jubilee Golf Club to beat Goondiwindi's Marty Lynch to claim a thrilling Pennants final.
The decider was locked at three matches a piece before Lejeune and Lynch each had chances to claim their match and the title on the 16th and 17th holes.
Lejeune's success breaks a run of bridesmaid finishes for the Gatton golfer as he has finished just short in a number of club events, including this year's club championship which was won by young Pennants team mate Nicholas Berlin.
Berlin scored a comfortable 7/6 win in his match against Goondiwindi's Allan Sutton before captain Mark Everingham hit back for the visitors.
Goondiwindi's father-son combination of Mark and Joel Stahlhut each enjoyed wins in a beaten team.
