Denham Golf Club was again the venue for the annual match with our friends in the Aero Golfing Society. The RAF team were looking to regain the Keith Davies Cup, following the Aero's success in each of the last 3 years at Denham, and to retain the Piercey John Quaich which we won last year.

Following the usual coffee/tea and bacon rolls, the teams set out from the first tee for the morning fourball betterball matches. The weather was cool but dry and the course in excellent condition and, of course, the banter started before a ball was struck. After completing their matches, the teams enjoyed lunch in the dining room - as excellent as always - before setting out from the tenth tee for the nine hole afternoon Greensomes.

Aero Captain Stu Butler and RAFGS Match Manager Mark Foreman collated the scores after the morning and afternoon rounds and the teams gathered in the bar at the end of the day for the (short) speeches and announcement of the results. The RAF were successful in both morning and afternoon events, with a resounding 5-1 win in the competition for the Keith Davies Cup and a narrow 3 1/2 to 2 1/2 win in the Greensomes. Stu graciously presented both trophies to Mark and we look forward to next year's match, which will be at Denham on 13 April 27.

RAFGS team: Mark Foreman (Match Manager), Peter Bedford, Kevin Burston, Simon Boyce, Nigel Dowdall, Sean Doherty, Neil Gold, Alistair Maxwell, Mark Morton, Neil Roberts, Willie Kirkpatrick, and Graham Pearson.

The annual match for the James Webster trophy was played at West Hill on a cool but dry day, with the course in excellent condition. For various reasons, West Hill had been unable to field a full team but, with the aid of some RAFGS players drafted in to fill the gaps, the match was played in the usual 6 groups of 4BBB.

All the matches were close and, with two matches to come in, the match was poised at two points each. In the penultimate match, the RAFGS had been behind from the start after losing the first hole, but managed to win the 18th to square the match. With everything resting on the final match, the RAFGS pair of Doug Cooper and Neil Golf managed to win the final three holes to go from two down to one up and seal victory for the RAFGS by three and a half to two and a half.


Following short speeches by the team captains, West Hill club captain Dave Andrews (on the right) presented the trophy to RAFGS team manager Nigel Dowdall.

RAFGS team: Graham Pearson, Steven Parry, Peter Bedford, Nigel Dowdall, Dennis Virgo, Ian Robinson, Mick Ford, Kevin Conquergood, Andrew Curtis, Rana Eymur, Doug Cooper and Neil Gold.
