The annual match with the RAFGA was played on a breezy but sunny day at Peterborough Milton for the 2nd year in succession. It yet again proved a very worthwhile venue with fast running fairways, true and quick greens and enough off-line trouble to punish the errant shots.
A slightly modified format was used this year, 4BBB with the 4 of the 5 top scores counting to the team total over each 18 holes.
A superb 42pts in the morning round by Ollie Whyatt and Paddy Mournian, backed up by the other strong team scores, meant the RAFGS held the lead at lunch, albeit only by a single point. The afternoon proved equally close, but with a further fantastic 45pts from Ollie and Paddy, the RAFGS extended their lead to 6 overall, meaning we regained the Cecil Beamish Cup.
RAFGS Team: Ian Robinson (Capt), Roger Carr, Nigel Dowdall, Dave Holmes, Graham Pearson, Trevor Grant, Ollie Whyatt, Paddy Mournian, Stu Butler, Colin Basnett
