on Wednesday June 15^th 2011.

The team arrived at Redditch determined to avenge the defeat last year at Forest Pines and at lunch time the match was all square after the green-some morning rounds.

Although experiencing a few short heavy showers this didn’t dampen any of our spirits and updates during the four ball matches were showing some hard fought battles with our leading team of Steve Carpenter and Phil White hanging on to a 1 up lead. With 2 holes to go our second pairing of Lawrence Hawker and Grenville Rose were 2 up but losing the 17^th meant the match was poised for a close finish. However, Grenville sank the crucial put on the 18^th to secure a victory by 2 holes.

Leading from behind was yours truly with my partner Willie Kerr as we secured our victory of 4 and 3 on the 15^th with a fine birdie from Willie. With 9 points from 18 already in the bag Brian Swain and John Swann secured victory with a 2 holes win, thus assuring our ‘sweet revenge’. Our last 2 pairings of Brian Morris +Peter Adams and Tony Jowle + Richard Coverdale both secured halves and therefore the team remained unbeaten in the four balls taking the overall result to 13 1/2 for Worcestershire.

A great result and well done guys. Our results so far are won 2 lost 1.

Our thanks go to Redditch Golf Club for making available their excellent golf course and fine catering and also to Willie Kerr for organising the day for us.
