Chief Minister's Cup

The 2010 Chief Minister's Cup will be contested across the Palmerston and Humpty Doo golf courses.  Imparja and Channel 9 are back on board as major sponsors to ignite the 'country' verses 'city' rivalry that is the hallmark of this event.  Both teams will be looking for a strong performance this year to become the ultimate victor and take home the Cup. 

Allied Pickfords are on board as sponsors as well and without our generous sponsors’ assistance, this event would not be what it has become today. 

The Chief Minister’s Cup is to be contested from the 16th to 18th of July with a reception to be held for the players at Parliament House on the evening of the 15th of July.  Best of luck to both teams!
