Match Report

BT v Lloyds Bank

Date:       1st May 2003
Venue:     Stowmarket GC
Format:    4BBB Hambro scoring

The match was very successful from the social point of view. Unfortunately, our play was just not quite good enough to retain the trophy. The morning 4BBB was a disappointment for us, but the fighting spirit in the afternoon singles nearly saved the day.

Despite the clash with the Spring Meeting, the repeat of a 36 hole contest was very well received by both sides and we had a mainly dry day in which to play our golf. The innovation of playing singles in the afternoon was a great success and as we played in fourballs the social side wasn't neglected. The opposition were, as usual, a very friendly bunch and, this time, we had every reason to drown our sorrows during another excellent meal provided by the Stowmarket catering staff. The course was not in very good shape, but they were preparing for a major event the following week so our timing may have been a little out.

Many thanks to all who supported the event, I only hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did.

George Courtney
Captain of the Day
