RAFGS v Brokenhurst Manor Golf Club - 14 July 26

The popular fixture against Brokenhurst Manor in the New Forest was as usual over-subscribed, giving Match Manager Phil Sperring a difficult task in selecting the team of 12. Unfortunately Phil was unable to play in the match, but Andrew Curtis kindly agreed to step in as Captain on the day. Both did an excellent job, as Phil's report indicates:

"On yet another cloudless day with temperatures above 30 degrees, the RAF GS team turned up at Brokenhurst Manor GC  to compete once again for the Adastral Trophy.   Given the weather conditions of late, the course was in excellent condition and the match was played in great spirit.  Following two consecutive 5 -1 defeats, the RAF GS team under the leadership of Andrew Curtis, who stood in at short notice, was able to overturn the trend and seize a memorable 4 - 2 victory (this would probably not have happened if I had been able to play!).  My thanks to everyone."

Captain Andrew Curtis receives the Ad Astral Trophy: 
RAFGS Team: Andrew Curtis, Ollie Whyatt, Simon Boyce, Ian Barclay, Stewy Fryatt, Tony Norris, Rana Eymur, Rick Lipscomb, Roger Palin, Rod Powell, Si Stevens, Kevin Huish.
