Hayden Richardson went one hole further, taking Edison Lee to the 19th before losing one down.
Kynan Lee, Mani Jessup, Jasper Kubank, Koby Wegman and Beau Wheeler were winners for the North whilst Lachie White, Eli Monaghan and Max Coventry were the other Southern winners.
Congratulations to all involved in a very good contest
The return match at Pittwater Golf Club on Monday saw an identical 5-5 result.
Richardson, Lee, Kubank, Wegman and Wheeler were victorious for North while White, Gillard, Monaghan (one-up), Coventry and Jordan Sterling (19th), saluted for south.
So overall even-stevens and the contest went to countback. North won 41 games to South's 33, so were declared the victors.
Congratulations to all involved in a very good contest.
