The heavens were fully open, but Noah was nowhere in sight! Due to the atrocious weather conditions, it was decided to make the Seniors’ competition a non-qualifying Stableford. With some dealing with the rain better than others, it was Richard Collier who produced the round of the day with a score of 42 points.
Results: Richard Collier 42 points, Ray Guthrie 38 points, Alan Bishop 38 points, Ray Wilkinson 37 points, Phil Thompson 37 points. Nearest the Pins on 5th: Dave Elliott, 8th Dave Millington, 14th Steve Ball, 15th Tim Waller.
In a rain-soaked match, Farrington Seniors defeated Mendip Spring, 4–3. However, revenge was sweet for Long Sutton. After losing to
Farrington at home two weeks previously, they inflicted a rare home defeat by winning 5–2. Farrington Seniors have only lost five home games in the last three years. There will be an inquest!
