Match Report

BT v St Clements - Ian Reddington Memorial Trophy

Date: 26th April 2006
Venue: St Clement's Golf Club
Format: 4BBB Hambro scoring

The match was held at St. Clements 30 minutes later than the original scheduled time of 4:30pm. Another mix up by the Captain of the Day!!!. But we had a shotgun start at 5:00pm with a full complement of 12 players on each side for 6 matches of 4BBB Hambro scoring. The course was in its usually lush condition, with an interesting set of pin positions, which I believe were a hangover for the previous weekend’s Tolly competition, in which they thrashed Stowmarket GC.

The weather was conducive to good golf (a pity for the Captain of the Day ) and due to the later start, the evening drew in over the last few holes but we were still able to complete all the matches.

As to the match, the result was a victory for St Clements by 12 holes, and by 5matches to 1.

Therefore St Clements retained the Ian Reddington Memorial Cup (If the future years competitions go to form, as previously the cup has been held alternatively for 2 years each, we should win it for the next 2 years).

As I mentioned in my speech, I would like to thank the St. Clements Greenkeeper for the interesting pin positions, which made the short game very demanding.
