CST TEAM SHEET v HONITON
Monday 19th June
Posted on Inter Club Matches
They came from darkest Dartmoor on their wild stallions, armed with Clubs, Irons, devilish wedges, evil sounding mash-ya-giblets to tangle with those loyal to The Pope
The Armies from The Valley of Teign finally met their match on Windwhistle Hill yesterday.
Captain Pope, with Chance on his side took 11 shots from the opposition but were victorious on the 15th Green with 3 to spare.
A Gardener and his valet Jay Lauchlan also had to take 13 shots - but on the 12th the hands were shaking as the CST flag was raised again.
Squire Asquith and Sir Andy of Roe Land took shots a-plenty as 9 handicap Wardle started his campaign. It was to no avail, however, as this too was settled on the 12th hole.
Barely a shot was fired twixt John the Baker and The Huntsman as they tangled with their allocated foe. As they ascended the hill of 14, it was all over for the visitors as they had lost 6 of their skirmishes with but 4 remaining.
The mighty Gingell Khan and a Cording to Legend , were matched shot for shot by Teign. Twas not until the dawn of the 18th that they signaled Captain Pope that they had prevailed - with 1 shot remaining in their armory.
Sir James of Park House, dared to take along a young Hussey in a display of over-confidence. Twas well-justified, however, as victory came in the blink of an eye on the green of e-leven .
Captain Pope was magnanimous in his 6-0 victory and offered Steak & Ale Pie with lashings of Cider for the surviving Visitors and in a mark of ultimate sacrifice, limited his speeches and jokes to under 9 minutes in the glaring sun of the magnificent battlefield of Cricket St. Thomas.

| Jim Lauchlan had to sprint from 9th Fairway to 14th to rescue his errant Trolley As you can see, everyone in the area scattered as the various parts of his body moved in opposing directions to maintain aerobic balance |
