The first job for the captain this week was to don a pinny and serve Breakfast that Lisa had prepared to the players as they arrived, which seemed to go down well and generated first class comments from the Long Sutton squad who thoroughly enjoyed the feast. There was a buzz around the clubhouse as the players stood by the practice green trying out each others putters. The sun was out for the second weekend on the trot so is summer finally here !

The pairings weren't changed much from the previous weeks 5-0 victory, so again Ben and Lily started at the front and very quickly got themselves 4up and seemed to be in control only to let it all slip away to be all square after 9. A few wise words from Ben saw the pair pull it together and win again - this time 2-1.

The team welcomed back Martin Henson. He partnered Kev Down whom, for most of the round, couldn't decide what to wear and was on more than one occasion seen with no shirt on. They had a ding dong match with neither side wanting the victory so a creditable half was the result.

Third to hit the fairways were last weeks Invincible's Simon "chirpy" Lloyd and Tony Smith who in his words "wasn't on song" and a few tee shot that seem to be way short of his best. Despite this and although playing to the crowd on the 18th, the Pair again prove to be a winning combination this time 2up.

Darren Marsh and Liam Newton were the 4th pairing to the tee, and for the second week in a row the opposition thought that Liam was the low handicap player until a few wayward shots brought the young buck back down to earth. Darren came to his rescue and the pair had the best result of the day winning 3-2.

In the final match pairing were seniors George Taylor and Harry Eden, who seemed to gel nicely together to play well and come away with a 2up win.

The Reserve Cup saw Malcolm Stobart paired up with Sheridan "sherry" Hodges who this week found the going a little tough. It was a slow round which seemed unsuitable for Sherry's Game - even the calming influence of Malcolm couldn't stop the pair losing 4-3

This was always going to be a tough game as Long Sutton came with 6 ladies in their side, so a Four and Half to a Half Win is a great result. The Folke 3CL band wagon rolls on to the next game on the 13th July at home to Wheathill B

Thanks to all the players for their enthusiasm and commitment and not forgetting the hard work Andy has done to produce an excellent course for us to play on !!
