Kevin Russell, the team Captain and donor of this photograph, recounted the story of the pennant win:

'In 2008 the Orange Division of Senior Pennants was only competed by four teams in South district. Typically, the winning South team played against the winning North team to decide the pennant. This meant that the two top South teams played off for the pennant at Lakelands.

Hartfield finished top and Melville Glades finished second. We actually played Hartfield in the last round robin game at Hartfield before the final. During that game heavy hailstones covered the greens. The Captain from Hartfield refused to abandon the game and give us a tie on the basis it would be unfair to the other two teams playing at RFGC (also playing for second position). We ended up drawing the match anyway. The following week we played Hartfield again and beat them to win the pennant.'
