A team of 16 intrepid golfers set off to Wellingborough vowing to avenge
the 6-2 defeat we suffered at home. I did not have a lot of hope for the top
match as their Captain Peter Gannon and partner had inflicted a 4&3 defeat
on Bill Walker and I at home, I have played against him on every single time I
have been in the team to play Wellingborough and do not remember any victories.
True to form we lost 3&2. Peter did mention that he thought our Captain
must be trying to avoid playing him by being on holiday for both home and away
matches.
As the results started coming in, I feared this
may be the second whitewash of the year. However thanks to a stalwart win by
Jonathon Lean and Algy Grimes and a gritty half from David Lincoln and Keith
Blankley we managed to retain some modicum of respect with a 6.5 - 1.5 loss.
At least our spirits were revived somewhat by a
truly delicious meal in their impressive clubhouse.
