Gloucestershire Seniors Southern League Finals
At Orchardleigh in Somerset
Gloucestershire just failed to lift the Southern Counties Seniors cup at Orchardleigh Golf Club in Somerset after beating Suffolk comprehensively 4-1 in the semi finals. (Full Results attached)
They came up against a very strong Hertfordshire side full of international players but still went very close to winning the trophy which they last won in 2004. Hertfordshire took the first match against Bob Broad & Alan Dangerfield 2&1 but Geoff Clay & Sean Lynch also of Minchinhampton levelled the scores by winning 2&1 in match 2.Les Carter of Broadway & Ian Melvin of Cotswold Hills lost 3&2 in match 4 but Ian Watkins of Broadway & Kenny Hibbett of Cotswold Edge won 372 to set up what looked to be an exciting finish. Captain, Tony Gough from Lansdown playing with Dennis Rudman from Filton looked to be edging to a win, going 1 up on the long 12th. Unfortunately Hertfordshire then struck several birdies to close out the match leaving Hertfordshire to win by the narrowest of margins.
