On Tuesday 21st May, Melton took on Rutland County Seniors at home, a match that is always very competitive but one played in the best of spirits by both teams. With very sunny weather and the course in superb condition, the scene was set for an exciting game of golf. The Rutland Captain had not lost a Seniors’ match to date so the Melton pairing of Seniors’ Captain Dick Chapman and Mike Hoggan were certainly up against it.
The winning pairs for Melton were: Seniors Captain Dick Chapman & Mike Hogan won 3 & 2, Haydyn Snow & Peter Rayers won 2 & 1, Richard Haines & Dennis Dayman won 5 & 3, Bob Luke & Joe Carrington won 4 & 3, Dave Bentley & Ken Longbottom won 2 up, Don Benzie & Alan Terzza won 3 & 2. The overall score was a convincing win for Melton 6 wins to 2 wins.
