Cornwall Seniors Channel League second match saw another trip to the Principality – across the Severn once more, to Peterstone Lakes G.C a parkland course which had, as the last intended venue, suffered heavily from higher than average rainfall. In fact the course had been closed for much of the previous two weeks!
Great credit has to go to the greenstaff who worked magnificently from 6a.m. to ensure the course was playable for the match. From practice on Sunday afternoon to10:30 a.m. on Monday a significant improvement was seen.

The morning foursomes got under way just after the rain stopped and was very evenly matched and once again at lunch it was honours even at 2.5 to 2.5

For the afternoon singles the wind had increased, and with the combination of tree lined fairways and many ditches and small lakes the conditions were nothing short of tricky, however, the sun continued to shine.
With true fighting spirit the Cornish held their nerve, and battled on.
A great 7&5 win by Newquay’s Rob Stacey started the ball rolling, followed by a 4&3 win by Vice Captain Ian Brown (West Cornwall). Wins also for Alan Poole (St Mellion), David O’Mahony (Tehidy), Michael Hayes (Budock Vean ), Harry Walker China Fleet and Captain Dave Goodman (Bowood Park)
