Match Report courtesy of  Dave O'Brien

we enjoyed a good match with Sussex with the match result being 5 to 3 in Wiltshires favour.

Our captain was soon in trouble on the course struggling to reach the first tee with a trolley hired with a guaranteed 36 hole battery, he made it to the 2nd tee but was then given a buggy to complete the round (some of us had to pay £20 for a buggy but being captain has some perks).

Any way the match itself went as follows

Captain and Ian Pearson--------------------------loss

Dave O'Brien and Terry Broom-------------------win

Peter Holley and Brian Watts---------------------loss

Dave Sargent and Neil Patch---------------------win

Malcom Nixon and Jim Murdoch------------------win

Alan Edwards and Fred Psyk----------------------win

Gordon Kenneth and Peter Wesley---------------half

Stuart Shewry and Dick Soloman----------------half

We were very lucky to play in superb conditions with we were told all the greens were fast and sloped towards the sea,many of us found that with a putt from the high side of the green we would start with a 10ft putt which would the be followed by a 15 ft putt,however all went well and we gained a deserved win. For those that knew Phil Powell our ex captain he has moved to Sussex and played against us however Terry Broom and myself made sure he wouldn't take points off us
