The tournament, which is sponsored by the Ensign, is a highlight on the calendar and editor Simon Ruppert was on hand to present the trophy.

Maia O’Shea is the former editor of the Ensign and a legend in women’s golf in Australia.

She was the original sponsor of the event and purchased the impressive trophy, which is still up for grabs each year.

This year it was Jubilee Golf Club, based in Wangaratta, that came out on top.
