Last year when I was stand-in Captain for this fixture, we lost narrowly 4½ - 3½, so I was hoping for a slightly better result this time and I felt we had a stronger team. In the top game, John Foster didn't have his best putting boots on (he was sinking everything last year) and Mark and I recovered from 2 down to deliver a convincing 5 & 3 win. The next 4 games went to Oundle and in spite of good wins from the "Richards team" and Tim & Clive, we ended up losing 5-3. Not a disaster, but something to avenge in September.
Pete Hickman was (as is often the case) NTP for us, on the difficult 13th, and Chris Hankins took it for Oundle.
The cakes at the halfway house were especially delicious.
