Hide AdColin Wilton and Luke Woods were playing in the category one handicap
section (0-5). In the morning round, they met a pairing from Whitehead and, thanks to some stirring play, won by 4 and 2.
They were not so fortunate in the afternoon match. Their opponents were Fortwilliam, playing over their home course. And, as it transpired, Fortwilliam did not have to play in the morning as their opponents failed to turn up. So they went into the match against Banbridge totally fresh.
Colin and Wilton gave it their best shot and only lost by 2 and 1.

But it wasn’t to be! That’s golf for you!
