The South Herefordshire seniors’ monthly SWS attracted an entry of 57, and there were many fine displays on the day.

The ‘star’ of the day was Jim Delahay with a net score of 63 playing off 24 handicap. The results in the various divisions were as follows:

Division 1

1st David Palmer 80-15=65

2nd Malcolm Connah 82-15=67

3rd Michael Tweddell 86-15= 71

Division 2

1st John Barnett 86-19=67

2nd John Arrowsmith 90-12=69

3rd Brian Spencer 90-20=70

Division 3

1st James Delahay 87-24=63

2nd David Houghton 92-26=66

3rd Ashley Mortimer 94-25=69

The seniors’ return match, at home to the Forest of Dean, was another very close encounter. The result was identical to the away encounter, an honourable half 4-4.

Once again, a final put on the last hole decided the encounter. The results were as follows:

Wins for Eifion Rees and Ashley Mortimer 3&2

Geoff Eyres and John Wynne 3&2

Mike Boucher and John Barnett 3&2

Halves for Barry Howells and Brian Bishop, Roger Barnes and Mike Weller

Losses for Doug Frape and David Rippe 5&4
