Cricket St Thomas Seniors 2

2 from 3  – 6^th January 2016

The scheduled 3^rd round of the Winter League was postponed today until Friday, 22^nd January as holes 8, 9 and 10 were unplayable.

Nevertheless, 36 members turned up to play a 2 from 3 Stableford. Conditions were ideal above knee height but rather sticky underfoot. Everyone played off their club handicaps, though from today domestic cuts will be applied for two weeks.

The result was in doubt until the end. Bob Hollingworth’s team came in with 69 points to take the lead with only one score outstanding. Keith Branchflower’s team then came in with 69 points, to win by virtue of a better back 8. There were 6 birdies each paying £3.00 per team
