Badgemore battered

Well, not really battered but our gallant seniors secured a 3 ½ – 2 ½ win at a wet and windy away fixture at Badgemore Park. We still don't know the punch line to Barry's joke but the food, the course and the company were all first class, as was the win.
Well done team,
Ed

Interclub Result - apologies for late press release!!!!

Although the second inter-club match took place at home to Weybrook Park last month, which resulted in another win for our Donnington boys,  the following report has only just been received today. Rumour has it that the reason for this is that the interclub captain has been kept busy tasting more pies!!

Here is the report of the Weybrook match.

Well done lads - keep it up!!

Also, a very big well done to Ann Macdonald who had a slightly bigger winning margin when coming first in the ladies section - for a full list of the ladies results click here.

Seniors welcome visitors from South Island

Folks on the Isle of Wight refer to our location as the North Island. We did make the visitors from Cowes welcome, but sent them home with no change from a 10 man match. The result 5-0 to the North Island.
That makes it 9 wins so far this season but now the away matches start...
