Cornwall Seniors Channel League third successive away match was to meet Somerset at Worlebury Golf Club near Weston-s-Mare on Wednesday 11^th July.

Practice on Tuesday found a relatively short course, as per the card, which was somewhat compensated for by some tight tree-lined fairways. Naturally very soft under foot but in good condition and most importantly the sun shone!

At lunch after the morning foursomes Cornwall were slightly flattered to be 4 – 1 up, having three of the five matches go to the last hole, but a great result to take into the singles.

The sun continued to shine in the afternoon, however, the wind increased and the holes directly into the wind became much tougher.

The match started to turn in favour of the home side as after the first five singles it was 3.5 to 1.5 to Somerset!

Match six saw late replacement Paul Clahane turn in a creditable 3&2 win and apart from a heavy defeat for Dave Goodman in the battle of the Captain’s, Geoff Ogden running out a 7&6 winner, but the final three matches turned back in Cornwall’s favour.

An excellent win for Mike Marshall (St Mellion) 5&4, also wins for Mike Eddy (Tehidy) 3&2, Harry Walker (China Fleet) 3&2, Rob Stacey (Newquay) 2&1 and a half on the 18^th for Dave O’Mahony (Tehidy)
