Ladies lose in first round of Jean Wilkinson County match at Ely City

Gog Magog GC v March Golf Club (Sunday, April 14) CAGU Interclub Greensomes League.

After a creditable draw in their first Greensomes League match against St Ives GC, March were brought back down to earth with a four matches to nil defeat against a strong team. Home advantage was clearly a significant factor.

Last year, when the same two sides met in a CAGU KO match at home, March emerged as victors. The match at Gog Magog proved more challenging, although all the matches were reasonably close, with two of the four being decided by only one hole.

Club captain, Alan Jones, thanked both teams and the March team (Malcolm George & Chris Elliott, Alan Jones & vice-captain Rob Henshaw, Simon Moore & Brian Newstead, Derek Wisbey & Andy Lilley). The return match is on Sunday, May 26.
