The county Seniors and county 2nd Team were made very welcome at Sherdons Golf Centre by Richard Chatham and his staff. Both teams were delighted with the course layout and condition. The morning foursomes ended up as a draw 2.5 matches each. The 2nd team came out strongest in the afternoon singles by six matches to four. The overall match result was a win for the 2nd Team 8.5 matches to 6.5. Congratulations to Dave Wood captain of 2nd team. Dave and I would like to convey our sincere thanks to all at Sherdons and to our vice president Brian Kingston for his support of both teams.

Match won by Gloucestershire County Juniors who win the Ralph Crisp Trophy

Match Review

The County Juniors took the early seasons spoils with a thrilling match at a very cold Long Ashton.

The First Team got off to a brilliant start winning the first two matches in this Four Ball Better with shots format.

Matches number 3 and 5 ended early with big wins for the Juniors. In match 4 it came down the 18th when Josh Denley nearly holed his wedge for eagle but made birdie to close out a tough contest against Workman and Dean.

The result hinged on the final game without going County Captain Nigel Thompson playing with his Brickhampton team mate Jake Phillips, they stood one up on the 18^th Tee. A win would mean a halved match and the First Team would retain the trophy!

Jack Bamford from Henbury then proceeded to hit the two most amazing woods onto this very tough par 5 finishing hole into the teeth of the wind, he makes birdie, shakes hands and the Juniors win the Trophy.

Thanks to Long Ashton and their members for allowing us use of the course.
