GC Inter-Club Competition - High Wycombe knocked out by Ashby

10/6/2021

0 Comments

 
A valiant squad of four (Raouf Allim, Joel Taylor, Stephen Wright and Ian Shore), drawn from our top GC players, went to do battle with Ashby in the GC Inter-Club Competition on their home turf.  While combined handicaps of each team were broadly equal, the presence in their team of both William and Rachel Gee, both -3s, and Tim King -2, meant we knew we would have to be on top form.

There were mixed fortunes in the morning, which featured some unexpected light rain showers, with the balance of honours going to Ashby. Some strong play in the afternoon meant that the result rested on the last two games, with High Wycombe having to win both to take the day.

In the event, it was not to be, despite a protracted and tense skirmish at the 13th hoop in one of the games.  Ashby proved worthy winners 5-2.  

Nil desperandum: there is always 2022!
