Appleby Match Result

The forecast showers held off and a good day was had by all.
Good food, good company and a good 2.5 - 5.5 stuffing off the Appleby team on their own turf.
Captain of the Day Mike Mapleton was gracious in defeat.

Tuesday 4th October

Trying conditions put a damper on the final competition of the year which was played in its proper format thanks to the generosity of Geoff Waite volunteering to mark the card of the odd couple (!!!).
Joe Holmes and Mike Mapleton won the Brindley Salver with an incredible 42 points, five ahead of Eddie Varah and myself.
One important decision to be agreed at the AGM was that anyone who puts their ball into the draw is liable for the £1 entry fee as all cards from stableford competitions are eligible for the winnings, even if not all eighteen holes are completed.
The minutes of the AGM and amended rules will be published in due course.
Most prize winners were in attendance and presented with their trophies by retiring Trevor Wilson who was congratulated for his organising skills at the Seniors Open.

Carlisle Match Result

Our away match resulted in a 5.5 - 2.5 defeat and disappointingly the Squirrels couldn't raise a full team.
Captain Trevor Wilson did note that the only pairings to save a whitewash were Saxons.
On that note, I'm informed that Alan Proud has proclaimed himself captain for the 2012 S v C match.
This is excellent news as Alan brings with him qualifications for the job that few of us have ever heard of.
