Rosborough Cup
On Saturday October 20th the members gathered to play in the annual Rosborough Cup match between the Captain’s and Vice Captain’s teams. As always great care had been taken to ensure that the teams were as evenly matched as possible and everyone was looking forward to a close contest. Conditions were perfect and the course looked magnificent as the first groups set off into the warm autumn sunshine. Despite losing his match to the stand in Vice Captain Malcolm Rosborough, whose name adorns the trophy, the early results gave Captain James much to feel positive about. Mark Dowling, Karl Brown, Mark Forster and young Sam Knight all recorded victories for the Captain’s team and stormed into a 4-1 lead. To everyone in the clubhouse it looked like a nailed on win for the Captain as he only needed one more point from the remaining four matches. However Andrew Wincott added a point for the Vice Captain and he was soon followed by John Procter with another. Now the final outcome looked a little less certain and not long after Keith Squirrell levelled the score at 4-4. The unlikely comeback was complete when Brian Purton held off a spirited challenge from Head Greenkeeper Michael Bassett to secure a 4-5 win for the Vice Captain. The Presentation of the Cup was followed by a wonderful lunch prepared by Caroline and Janine that helped ease the pain of the losers and further fuel the spirits of the victors.
