Home Match v Saffron Walden Seniors - 20th March 2018

Well this was our first match of the season, and it was beast from the east 2, that was dictating our plans, Captain Jim; Match sec Richard; Hon sec David; and myself making several phone calls. We were finally assured that the course was playable.

So a big well done to Nigel and his team, not only playable, but on the tees and greens.

It is always nice to host Saffron Walden, Jim and I had great company with Derek and Graham, who took the first hole to go 1 up. We managed to win the next two holes.

We were 3 up and found ourselves 1 up on the tenth.

But good dovetailing with Jim and myself saw the match out 5-3.

We had several come from behind to win matches, Brian Bullen and Gerry Degaute trailing 3 down, with Brian parring the 13th and Gerry parring the 17th to win 2-1.

Peter Jarman and Terry McSweeney 3 down, come back to win 2-1.

Nick Seeley and Gerry Gentle 2 down, to win 2-1.

The overall win was 7-1, with  steak and ale suet pudding followed by fruit crumble for lunch, plus great company was the perfect day.
