Sunday 25th October the St Enodoc Frank Wills team started their winter campaign with a first-round match against Trevose GC at Bowood Park. The day started out dry but there was a strong wind blowing making it hard playing conditions for both teams.

First match out was Dave Bickford & Guy Court playing Richard Moan and Ryan Berry, no shots in this match. After some great golf our pairing won on the 16th 3&2. Next out for St Enodoc were Tom Bradley & Liam Bateman against Max Hampel & Kelvin Hayes. Tom and Liam proved much too good for the opposition and won comfortably 5 & 4. St Enodoc 2 up, so far so good.

The 3rd pairing consisted of Colin Reynolds and I couldn’t get a word in Russell Combellack. They were drawn against the strong Trevose pairing of John Tremain & Jonny Elderfield. Both sides played some great golf and the match ended up in a draw. Match 4 was Steve Buse & Mark Meneer against Ryan Ivamy & Andrew Moss. After a hard fought match, the Trevose pair managed to secure the win on the 18th 1up.

1 match to go and half a point needed. Our final pairing consisted of Farmer Dingle (Jay) playing with his dad Shane against Paul Wilkinson & Trevor Ashton. Right from the start this match was only going one way with Shane and Jay 5 up after 9 holes. They won the match on the 12th hole winning 7 & 6.

Match result 3.5 – 1.5 to St Enodoc.

Next round against Mullion GC at Truro on Sunday 22nd November.
