BTRGS Match Report
BT vs Ex BT
Date: Weds 2nd August 2006
Venue: Woodbridge GC
Format: 4BBB Match-play scoring.
Once again Woodbridge GC played host to the BT vs Ex BT match which this year took place on the 2nd August.
The match started at 16:00 hours in order to avoid the need for floodlights and other than a ‘light shower’ (well it looked light from the bar, I’d taken a non-playing role owing to an injury) the evening proved to be very enjoyable with most matches being very close, indeed several going to the eighteenth before a result was known.
It was really good to see so many fit looking retired and Ex BT employees turn out for this annual challenge, many serving members were quick to mention the general happy demeanour and improved handicaps of our retired colleagues and some good natured banter was had re the amount of practice time certain people must now be putting in ! Despite this the BT side did manage to secure victory by five matches to one. Well played.
I’d like to express well deserved thanks to John Hill for captaining the Ex BT side, for his making arrangements with the course and for organising a light post event supper. “It must have been a strange feeling for John making a loosing speech after such a good run in recent times.”
Finally, many thanks to Woodbridge GC for their hospitality, both teams for turning out in these busy times and to all for making the event a very enjoyable social evening which I’m sure we all look forward to repeating next year.
