Competition: Two Wells V Hamley Bridge Interclub Challenge (at Two Wells) .
Sponsor: Coopers Brewery
No of Players: 41 Players (20 from Hamley).
Conditions: PUURFECT.

With the rematch of the Interclub Challenge on Saturday I called for a "Captains call to arms" for all Two Wells Golfers to be available to defend the Honour of Two Wells Golf Club against the northern hoard from Hamley Bridge who were planning to ambush us on Saturday. We are currently holding the Interclub Challange Trophy and WE WILL STAND AND DEFEND!!!!. We will meet them on the fairways, we will meet them on the scrapes, we will ambush Anton in the sour sobs, and we will not surrender. Pass the word to all the members.

Hamley boys arrived in force very early hoping to catch us off guard as we did up their way in the last meeting. The Two Wells lads also keen arrived to ensure I wasn't intimidated by their strong presence. The visitors showed strong promise with taking our prized meat trays, four of the NTP's and one of the long drives. John Mitchell played well with 38 points and eagled the 10th with Wim Van Pelt strong with 38 points and Mick Nichols third with 36 points.

Adam Bail strong finish with an outstanding 42 points along with Andrew Baker and Danny Smith both on 40 points with James Weir and Yogi Frencken also worthy mentions on 38 points.

With both clubs we had an outstanding presence with 41 players on the course which is testament to the great respect the clubs have for each other. As always a great day with the BBQ meal after the game thanks to local lads John Boon and Neil Bowden who cooked up for us all. Helen and Yoli for organising the salads and the work behind the bar.

The final result for the day was Hamley Bridge with an average of 29.7 and Two Wells with an average of 33.7. Congratulations Two Wells three in a row. Super effort with some of our good golfer's away. Hamley arrived early trying to mirror our last attack but alas just fell short. One must acknowledge Adam Bail who told me during the week look out we have a wild card and as Vice-captain a big thank you to Adam for your work today checking the score cards and ensuring all the scores and results were correct for presentation today.

All in all 41 golfers had a great day and team spirits on both sides well received. Rumour has it that Anton and Bob are plotting revenge for the next meeting at Hamley in May 2014. We could have our tee shirts printed by then. Perhaps we should hold off in case it's a FOUR PEAT.?

Congratulations to both clubs members who made the day a success and as we said on Saturday we will all look forward to the next installment of the Challenge at Hamley Bridge. Thank You to Coopers Brewery who provided the prizes for the days NTP's and long drives.
