Inter Club Match v Braintree - Away - 19th October
Match 1 Pete Robins/Trevor Waterhouse A/S
What a game, SBN 4 up after 11 then reduced to 1 up after 17. Braintree decided to putt 40 feet from off the green on 18 and holed it. Trevor then left his putt for the win just 4 inches short from 30 feet so game finished all square. Well done Pete.
Match 2 Steve Mitchell/Richard Middleton Lost 1 down
SBN were 3 up after 8 holes, but the home pair won the 9th which seemed to spur them on, also winning the next 2 holes to square the match. They then took the lead on 14, but SBN got level again on 16. All square going down the last which Braintree won courtesy of the 18th being their last shot hole. Really good game, great company and played in good spirit.
Match 3 Kevin Price/Pete Hele A/S
Kev and Pete were never up in the match and only level on the 1st tee and walking off the 18th green. 2 down at the turn and dormie 3 down - it was an epic recovery over the final 3 holes to gain the half.
Match 4 Phil Boyland/Bob Filer Lost 8&7
Bob was taken poorly with toothache, Phil was left to struggle on, but the inevitable happened and Braintree ran out 8&7 winners.
Match 5 John Parkinson/Jonathan Perry A/S
A very close match with only one hole in it at any point in time.Jonathan was on form on the front 9 and John came good on the back 9. A fair result in the end with solid play from our hosts to take the match down 18.
Match 6 Phil Brennan/Tony Carmen Lost 3&1
The 2 John's of Braintree dovetailed well, with one of them using his wife's putter to good effect with 2 30ft putts and many 5 footers. 4 down half way and lost 3&1. Home advantage won.
Match 7 Brian Roloff/John Williams Lost 3&2
Great match although lost 3&2. Giving 4 shots to one of the oppositon who duly had 3 birdies!
Match 8 Pete Garnett/Andy Cracknell Lost 2&1
A very close game played in good spirit. All square at the turn but Braintree eventually ran out 2&1 winners after a run of nett birdies.
I fully agree with Richard's comments on WhatsApp about the food at Braintree, and have never seen Trevor so pleased. Happy tums all round. Sorry Gordon!
Many thanks to Steve Mitchell for reporting on this, the final Inter Club match of the year.
Also many thanks to Pete Hele for superb organising during the year - great job done Pete.
