As we arrived at St Neots the sun was shining with a slight breeze. The course was in fine fettle and the greens were fast. The match commenced, Fred and I went 1 down immediately. From then on it was a game of nip and tuck, no one side went more than 2 holes up or down. Fred and I won the sixteenth and halved the seventeenth leaving us 1 down we were both on the eighteenth for 3 and they were chipping on for 4, Fred sunk his putt for 4 and halved our match. It would seem there was a lot of banter between each group as the results came in. Dave Evans had to leave the course feeling unwell leaving Vice Captain Jim Kerr to gamely battle on but had to concede too many shots to his opposition.
There were good wins for Richard Coventry and John Gregory who managed to overcome an inform Gully Mann and Alan Aitken playing off 4. A notable hole was the 14th which was halved with a birdie by Richard.
Also wins for Gerry Gentle and Ray Smart and Keith Fuller and Richard Westergreen-Thorne.
All enjoyed a very good carvery and a super bread and butter pudding, everybody stated they had enjoyed the day fantastically and looked forward to the return in June. Oh the match result nearly forgot it was a half 4 each.
