Following a hearty breakfast, Melton GC hosted Rutland County in their annual friendly which is held alternately at their respective clubs. The change in the weather made it a difficult start, with well received cooler temperature but difficult windy conditions. The teams were to be tested playing in these elements. The Rutland County team were lead out by their Club Captain Eric Cooper and his partner Gerry Mcyntyre. This fixture as always is played in the best spirit, but is also very competitive and the result went to MMGC with a 5 to 1 win.
The Melton scores came from the following pairings: Steve Wright (Team Captain) and Terry Brown won 1up, Mezz Watchorn and Mick Curtis won 2&1, Jack Inguanta and Kevin Robertson won 2&1, Andy Blunt and Tony Robinson won 4&3, Owen Cook and Bob Luke won 3&2.
