The match for the Adastral Trophy saw one of the few lovely days this summer with bright sunshine until about an hour after the first tee time when a sudden, sharp shower served to cool everyone down.
Clearly, our team cooled down more than the home team who were able to inflict a comprehensive defeat on us by 5-1. The only face saving performance was by Martin Croker and Joe Bains who managed a convincing win. Phil Sperring was grateful to Nigel Dowdall for stepping in at short notice.
As usual, the New Forest course was in great condition, our hosts very welcoming and the whole event was conducted in the best of spirits.
Team:
