A team win at Tyneside

It seems strange to be reporting a team win when the course is covered in snow and so wet underneath ... but the Men's team in the Mail on Sunday Classic competition played Tyneside today and had a close but very impressive win. With the Captain, Brain King away on holiday, the Vice-Captain Brian Rutherford, took a team of five to this first round fixture. We had a home draw, but because we were unable to play at Parklands, we had to reverse the fixture and play away. There were defeats for Craig Wilson and Ian Davidson (lost on the last), but wins for Ronnie Dixon 4 and 2, Graeme Hewitt 2 and 1, and Graham Bell 1up. Well done to you all and especially Graham Bell celebrating your first match with a fighting performance and victory. So its a 3-2 victory and we await the draw for our next opponents. Lets hope the course will be open if we manage a home draw!!!
