Stoke Rochford, the home side, took the lead winning the first 4 holes and were looking to run away with the match until Melton halved a few holes to stop the rot, before pulling back to just 2 down. Both Stoke players continued to play some steady golf and prevented Melton cutting the deficit even more until the 10th when Mick Cavani sank a 15 foot downhill putt to win the hole. Then, after alternate wins, Stoke turned the screw winning the 13th and 15th to go dormy 3.
The match was won 3 and 2 by Stoke on the 16th with an excellent 25 foot putt from just off the green by Harry Stannard to get a half with Melton being only 5 foot from the hole.
