After being unlucky to be trailing by 1 point after the morning singles, Cornwall tired in the afternoon foursomes and eventually went down 9-5 to Somerset, who secured 2nd place overall. Cornwall produced a great performance to defeat our friends from across the Tamar! Josh Greenaway had the result of the day by beating the new South West Champion James Ruth 2&1. Cornwall's chances of winning the SW Counties Matchplay Shield took a severe blow following a 8 - 6 defeat at the hands of Dorset. Credit goes to the Dorset team, who after 2 defeats produced an excelent display in the morning singles to record a 6.5 - 1.5 advantage and although Cornwall fought back strong in the afternoon foursomes they fell just short.
Rob Macgregor's 66 equalled the best round of the day but Cornwall finish only 5th. Day 2 v Gloucester Won 7.25 - 6.75 Ben Westgate and Richard Ackland spearheaded Cornwall's stunning win over hosts Gloucester with two wins each. Day 1 v Wiltshire Lost 10.25 - 3.75 On paper there should have been nothing between the teams but Cornwall never got going and Wiltshire recorded a convincing win.
