Dave Hawkins ( Beds) presenting the cup to Roy Stanton (Northants)
The match against Bedfordshire was at a venue we had not played for a long time.
Our day stated with an excellent ploughman’s lunch. After the obligatory announcement of each game pairings our first tee time was 13.03hrs.
The weather had improved from overcast to pleasant sunshine with a light winds.
The course was undulating with small greens a real challenge for us all, it was presented in very good condition and from the table chat most everyone enjoyed the course.
Dinner was three courses Soup/roast pork/crumble/ coffee or tea.
Match result was a Half and as we win last year we retained the Cup.
