Peterborough Milton GC
24th May 2018
A MOMENTOUS VICTORY
A practice round on Tuesday at Peterborough Milton GC proved invaluable on what was a difficult fast running course.
With five new players: - G Shelton, D Jessup, A Soper, H Boylan & R Brown the County managed to come out of the morning foursomes 4.5 to 1.5 ahead.
This buffer set the squad up for a first ever victory over Nottinghamshire 13.5 to 4.5. (The second only loss Nott’s have had in the history of the league).
The team are now looking forward to the Cambridgeshire match away at the Gogs on the 29th May 2018.
A huge thank you to all of the team.

County Seniors Captain 2018.
