St. Enodoc Golf Club - 1st Round CTC win over Truro
Two years ago, in November 2013, at the quarter final stage of the CTC St Enodoc were drawn against Truro GC at Trevose. In the morning foursomes the team were spanked 4 - 0 and put in a position from which they never recovered despite an excellent showing in the afternoon singles. Today's match was almost a mirror image of that tie except that this time it was St Enodoc who won the morning foursomes 3.5 to 0.5 and with a win in the 9th man match to add another 0.75 points putting the team in a very strong position from which to win the tie.
