Away Match v East Herts - 23rd May 2017

The away match against East Herts “The Stags” was played in sunny conditions with the course in good condition and was enjoyed by all. The Stags lost only 3 home matches last year and so it was good to record a 5.5 to 2.5 victory which their 2016 club captain Alan Thomas described as a rout!

Several matches went to the last hole for wins or draws. We enjoyed a 2 tee start from the 1^st and 7^th holes, 4 matches off each tee which enabled all to be back in the clubhouse in good time for a nice lunch. Phil White made his first appearance for the team this season and he joined immediate past seniors captain Jim Peacock in a good win (3/2). Good wins also for Captain Fred and Organiser Keith Hargreaves (2/1) despite Keith being in serious discomfort with a bad back. Wins for Steve Foster and Keith Fuller (1 up), Steve Collins and Brian Bullen (3/1) and for Nick Seeley and Colin Fox (2/1) with Neil Pinnington and Malcolm Lee managing to secure a half on their last hole with a long putt from Malcolm so well done the team for reversing a 5/3 loss in the fixture last year.
