RAFGS v Huntercombe GC - 21 Aug 26

Thirteen RAFGS players assembled at Huntercombe for our annual match against the club - 12 playing for the Society, with Secretary Nigel Dowdall helping out the Huntercombe team, who were one short. 

The course was in good condition and already showing some signs of recovery following the recent rainfall, which had brought an end to the prolonged drought of the summer. Fortunately the day of the match was dry, making for ideal golfing conditions. As always, the match was played in an excellent spirit and most of the matches were fairly close. However, in the end the outcome was a comfortable win for the RAF by 3 1/2 to 2 1/2.

The formalities were completed with an excellent lunch and the presentation of the Stevenson Cup to the RAFGS team manager for the day, Stu Butler. Following the match, several of the RAFGS players took the opportunity to play a second round in the afternoon.

RAFGS team: Stu Butler, Peter Bedford, Andrew Curtis, Sean Doherty, Rana Eymur, Stewy Fryatt, Pete Hamilton, Neil Hazlehurst, Ian Robinson, Geoff Thorburn, Dennis Virgo, Oli Whyatt
