The first competitive match of the season was played in glorious sunshine albeit in a chill wind and a strong breeze on a well-prepared course against a strong Humberstone Heights senior team.
There were wins for the pairs of Neil Farish and David Hirst, Dick Chapman and Steve Martin, Mick Cavani and Joe Carrington and Brian Wray and Dave McKain, with Nigel Vernon and Ken Robson and Haydn Snow and Bob Purkis fighting out hard earned draws. This led to a 5 – 3 victory against a team that have proved really difficult to beat in the past.
The game was played in high spirits with courtesy which continued onto the 19th hole with many complimentary comments about course and hospitality from the visitors.
