The Loeb Cup Returns To Valley East

On the left hand side, representing Clearview Golf Club, we have two of the top male golfers in Valley East: Waldy Swiatek and Stacy Levac, squaring off with Paul Gascon and Ray Clement, two of the top male golfers in Chelmsford. This foursome led their respective teams in battle for the coveted Loeb Cup - awarded annually to victors of the challenge match between Clearview Golf Club and the Chelmsford Golf Club club champions. When all the dust settled from the 24 individual matches which were played over the two days of competition, Clearview had regained their title with a 20 to 4 victory. It was the third time in five years that the local club had won the cup. Chelmsford won it in the year 2000 and one year the two clubs tied.

The event was held on May 12 and 13. The first day of competition was hosted by Clearview. When the home club ended up with a 10 to 2 lead on Saturday, there was no holding them back when they played the following day in Chelmsford.
