with their South Beds Opponents captain Bryan Murnane and Martyn Graham
On a sunny day but with a chilly wind blowing the stage was set for a challenge on the
chalky grasslands around the Galley hill rising from the edge of Luton. Captain Richard
and I had a great start 1 up after 1 and steadily built on our lead to be 4 up at the turn.
We dovetailed well throughout the match and battled with a strengthening wind and a
couple of heavy rain showers on the back 9 but we ended the match with a 5&4 win so
1 up to JOG.
Now we were comfortably sitting in the clubhouse waiting in anticipation for the
remaining match results, but we lost matches 2, 3 and 4, so 3 - 1 to South Beds. Things were
looking bleak, much like the weather as the heavens opened with a heavy
hailstone storm. At least we could use that as our excuse for losing but wins in matches
5 and 6 meant we were level so, 3 each. It now relied on the last two matches which both
ended in halves so after all that the match was drawn – South Beds 4 and JOG 4.
