Strong finish for Delaloye at MB Junior Championship
By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press
An exceptional third round of golf propelled Neepawa’s Hayden Delaloye to the cusp of a top-10 finish overall at the 101st annual Manitoba Junior Boys Golf Championship.

The teen golfer, who competes out of the Neepawa Golf & Country Club, shot a combined total of 233 (+17) over the course of the three day event, which was held July 3 to 5 in Teulon. He shot a round of 78 on the first day, an 80 on day two and a 75 for the third and final round. It was Delaloye’s strong play on the back nine during his final round, that propelled him up two spots late into 11th place overall.
Those numbers also placed Delaloye in an eight place tie in the 17-18 age category. Grady Chuback, playing out of St. Charles, and Ryan Orchard of Carman, tied for first in that age group.
As for the overall championship, no one was catch-
The win, combined with a 10-7 defeat in Portage la Prairie earlier in the week, concluded Neepawa’s regular season schedule in the Santa Clara Baseball League. The Cubs went 5-10 on the year and finished in fifth place in the overall standings.
With these results, the Neepawa Cubs will likely face the Portage Padres in the first round of the playoffs. The other series should see the third place Austin A’s take on the sixth place Minnedosa Mavericks.
