Leicestershire & RutlandGolf Union
The L&RGU team showed 6 changes from the previous match away to Warwickshire, but the team spirit was unchanged. Paul Lowe took the team through their pre-match warm up routine and we were rewarded with a better result from the morning greensomes which are never easy after a long journey through the morning traffic to an unfamiliar course. John Hardwick and Ian Moss were promoted to top pairing for the day and rose to the challenge by halving with former European Tour player and current scratch golfer Paul McGarry and his partner in the afternoon betterball. Paul Lowe and Keith Elliott played exceptionally well to win both of their matches by the tightest 1 up margin. Unfortunately despite the best efforts we were unable to overturn the 1 point deficit from the morning session and once again suffered an agonising defeat by the narrowest of margins.
Our thanks go to S&H for their hospitality and for arranging this match at the excellent Patshull Park course which gave us the shortest possible journey to their county.
